(ABC/Pat Redmond)
An ABC drama, season three of Quantico stars Priyanka Chopra, Jake McLaughlin, Johanna Braddy, Russell Tovey, Alan Powell, Marlee Matlin, and Blair Underwood. Alex Parrish (Chopra) left the CIA behind for three years of peaceful anonymity in Italy. Now, though, Ryan (McLaughlin) convinces her to help save Shelby (Braddy) from a notorious international arms dealer known only as The Widow. They draft Harry (Tovey) and Owen (Underwood) to their cause. Owen tags in Jocelyn Turner (Matlin), who has a history with The Widow. Together, they form a whole, new black-ops force.
The series debuted in September 2015 to some very good ratings. It looked like ABC might have a new hit series but the ratings quickly fell and the first season averaged a 1.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.34 million viewers. The network renewed the series for a second season in March 2016, when only half of the season had aired.
Producers made some changes to the series, likely hoping that the numbers for season two would be better. That didn’t happen. Season two ended up averaging a 0.67 demo rating with 2.79 million viewers. That was a huge season-to-season decline. Still, Quantico landed a third season renewal, possibly due to lucrative streaming and international deals.
This time around, ABC held Quantico until much later in the season. Network execs seemed resigned to the idea that Quantico wasn’t going to draw very good ratings. After three weeks of Thursday night airings, the series was moved to Friday nights. The ratings were terrible, even for a Friday night show. It’s been averaging a 0.43 demo rating with 2.57 million viewers. With numbers like these, it was no surprise that ABC decided to call it quits and cancelled Quantico. Of course, that doesn’t mean that loyal viewers are ready for the show to end.
What do you think? Would you have watched season four of the Quantico TV show? Do you think that the ABC show should have been cancelled? Should it have been cancelled sooner?
ABC….you guys f#&#&ng SUCK!!!!! ALWAYS TAKING AWAY THE GOOD SHOWS! I’M SO TIRED OF YOUR DUMB ASSES!!! WHY DON’T CANCEL YOUR ENTIRE F#%#%NG NETWORK!!!!
I Love Quantico & am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED that it will Not continue….The last episode was Not enough … Please bring back the Interesting Shows!!?!
Shades of Blue was also a Favorite….there is Nothing Left worth watching anymore!!!!!
Season three got back to being good like when the show started. Why take out a show when it’s finally hit its niche.?
Yes, I would have watched Season 4. So disappointed that it was canceled.
My boyfriend and I loved this show. Seem like every show we like always gets canceled. COME ON !!!!
Yes I would love to watch season 4
Since they have gotten rid of 8 of my shows I have gotten rid of cable.
YES
I thought it was the best season yet! It became more character oriented, both individually and as a group with a common target. I’m disappointed that there will be no season 4.
this is crazy. One of the best shows ever. Loved every minute of it , Hate to see it cancelled
I thought this was the best season ever!!!!
I would have loved to continue watching it for season 4. There were so many story lines, since Harry met up with his sister, Mike and Alex with the little girl, Blair underwood and Marlee Matlin, and so much more. I hate when ABC decides its time. They have done that to so many of my favorites including Last Man Standing, and The George Lopez show.
I don’t even like to watch ABC shows, anymore in the event that they end so soon.
The initial season was interesting. But there are only so many agencies for Alex to attend their basic training. Season 3 was another spy show, like Taken (also cancelled), and it wasn’t very good.
I loved Quantico. My family and i couldnt wait til the next episodes. It royally sucked when we heard it was cancelled. I wish there was atleast anither season. So much more could have happened.
This show was ridiculous from the beginning and totally confusing. This show shouldn’t have gone a complete season. Horrible.
