(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?
I love the show but i didn’t like that Ryan and Selby got married that
i saw the first season , but it was getting so confusing not intriguing that i didnt see the last season, to many twists and subplots was getting maddening. would have endend sooner
I would have totally watched another series.. enjoyed
Yes, I loved Quantico and would have watched any amount of seasons….please bring it back. It did not end well.
I was all in for the first two seasons. In Season 3, the writers seemed to be stretching for plot and the storyline became very disjointed. More cohesive writing could have saved it.
I totally agree. I stopped watching after the end of season two. The show lost its stride.
I too really enjoyed this show, especially S1 & 3! I liked the smaller group in S3, with some of the core characters remaining in the elite secret, “Mission Impossible” like group. Disavowed by the government if caught. Put them in a real decent time slot again, during the regular fall season, then they’ll have an opportunity to show ratings that can be compared to other good shows. If they can’t hold their own after another full season, then give them a proper series finale, not some sappy last minute, we’re not sure thing!
Loved the show,Please bring it back, And ABC you have no shows on that I even watch you have canceled all the shows I watched Sorry…
Enjoyed the first 2 seasons but then it got silly and off track, Did not enjoy season 3 and probably would not watch a season 4
Yes, I’d watch Season 4 and then keep on watching Quantico.
YES I’D WATCH SEASON 4 N MORE! I’ve watched all three n it needs to continue from 3. BRING IT BACK just the way it ended.
Yes I’d watch season 4! I watched all seasons, the last being the best n continuing from there would’ve been the bigger hit than it already was, to me. BRING IT BACK!
I love this show bring it back
this was a great show had very good actor network cancel good show and leave not so watch on things that i would not watch quantico had good actor and it was a good show.
In the beginning I found the show confusing. I began watching again after a few seasons and was very happily surprised. I found it very entertaining.
May the Dark side get rid of your network for cancelling the best show ever….wont keep watching your network , good bye
