Fans of Quantico are in for some good news. ABC has renewed the TV show for a third season but there will be just 13 episodes this time around.
The drama follows Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra), a former FBI agent who now works for the CIA. The cast also includes Jake McLaughlin, Aunjanue Ellis, Yasmine Al Massri, Johanna Braddy, Russell Tovey, and Blair Underwood.
After a breakout first season, Quantico dropped considerably in the ratings for season two. Overall, the season averaged a 0.68 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.80 million viewers. For comparison, season one earned an average rating of 1.24 in the 18-49 demo and 4.34 million viewers. That’s a near 50% dip in the ratings from season one to two.
Nevertheless, ABC has decided to give Quantico another chance, possibly due to lucrative streaming and international deals and the fact that lead Priyanka Chopra is a global star.
Meanwhile, Quantico creator and executive producer Josh Safran will step down as showrunner on the series. A search is underway for a new showrunner and Safran will remain with the show as a consultant.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Quantico? Are you glad it’s been renewed? Will you watch season three?
1/8/18 update: Season three of Quantico will debut on ABC on April 26, 2018. Details here.

Can’t wait for season 3!!!!!!!
Yes! Outstanding show.
Of course I’m a fan please don’t cancel
Waiting anxiously for it to start.
Yes I am a fan and yes I will watch season three with the jope that it’ll air far better than season two’s flops
I enjoy watching Quantico, disappointed about the midseason return. I was looking forward th o fall return. Its cast has good chemistry and the plots are spot on!
I love Quantico. I enjoy watching the ID channel, but Quantico is different in its own way. In my opinion, Quantico has risen above and beyond the Detective shows I watch on the ID channel. Anyway, I hope people will quit watching the show on Netflix, and watch as it is playing each week. Fall is my favorite season. And the Fall shows are awesome. I have not 1 bad word to say about Quantico except, I hope they continue on each Fall.
Started watching the show on Netflix and love it I hope they keep it going for a couple of years would love to see Alex and Ryan get married and have babies plz don’t cancel
I love this show❤and they did the right thing to keep it going. I think that they should even do another season after season 3.Quantico is one of the best shows ABC has.
I really hope the show doesn’t get canceled. It’s a great show
ABC is doing big things with this series and all the other newer ones they have release. KEEP Quantico!
