What’s Coming to Prime Video in April 2023: ‘Citadel,’ ‘Judy Blume Forever,’ ‘Dead Ringers’
Prime Video is hoping to launch its own extended franchise universe in April with the premiere of international spy series “Citadel” from the minds of the Russo Brothers. The show stars Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra, and Stanley Tucci, and is intended to be the first block of an interconnected story with different spinoffs in countries and regions around the world. The first version will begin streaming on April 28. In the show, the world is in the grips of Manticore, a criminal organization, and several former spies are recruited to restore order despite having their memories erased.

Beloved young adult author Judy Blume opened the door to discussion about difficult subjects for generations of kids. Now, the writer is the subject of a new documentary, “Judy Blume Forever,” coming to Prime Video on April 21. The doc looks at her trajectory — from a scared kid to a remarkable writer whose frankness often got her books banned.
Check out the “Judy Blume Forever” trailer:
The Amazon streamer is set to launch a series adaptation of David Cronenberg’s 1988 thriller “Dead Ringers” on April 21. The original story was based on real-life twin gynecologists, Cyril and Stewart Marcus whose rise and fall stunned New York. This version has a gender twist: Rachel Weisz plays the double role of Elliot and Beverly Mantle, the gifted but no-holes-barred duo who pushed boundaries — on everything. Also in the series will be Michael Chernus, Poppy Liu, Britne Oldford, and more.

Finally, the final season of Emmy-winning comedy “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” arrives on April 14. Midge Maisel (played by Rachel Brosnahan) is divorced with two kids, but her only real passion is comedy. In the final installment of the series, Midge is closer to achieving her dreams than ever before. Will she be able to make it all happen?
