(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 absolutely would have watched a 4th season. I love the show. The ending was not good for season 3. Why not a full feature film drawing all the ends together with a terrific story line?
I wish there was a season four I watched all three seasons when they came out and I’m rewatching them again in 2020. It’s a really good show and I was so upset to see that y’all canceled season four. I wish y’all would pick back up and do a season four and more.
Yes I absolutely would have watched another season. I was really upset the way season three ended.
I have watched all the seasons and i enjoyed it i am so sad that its cancelled now am left hanging i would like to watch season four
I really love the show
Love the show would love to see what next
Stopped watching after the first season because I got fed up trying to figure out the timeline- the constant back and forth between the past and present was annoying and didn’t do much for the continuity of the show between episodes especially. Watched the show mainly because of Priyanka Chopra but the show itself left a lot to be desired.
I just watch all 3 seasons in over a weeks time this show was awesome actors and actress were great i wish this show would get pick up by some network sucks that it ended in the middle of a season who does that ive stayed up late so many times and gone to work couldt wait to watch more only to realized that the show was cancel they should at least finish season 3 with a good ending not leave ryan in a bed beatin to death
I really love this show it kept me going wanting to find out what would happen next. Sleepless nights over this show the plot was sooo good just wish some how Ryan and Alex would get back together. The way season 3 ended has me sad wanting more I hope y’all see that people are wanting more and it comes back. Please please,!!!
I am so sad Quantico has been cancelled it was my favorite show and I hope that the there is a season 3 and another thing I hate that Ryan and Alex are not together anymore.
Was a good show with a lot of twists n turns. Hard to follow sometimes would have to rewatch it. This show requires your undivided attention the entire show in order to understand some same things that haopens…. it’s great they do that but unless you watch intensely every week you’ll get lost fast. But I love it and wouldnt mind more.
Excellent series. Shame ABC cancelled it! I’m older than 49 and well off as to choose good series to watch. ABC should NOW do Season 4 and more.
Yes I would have watched it. Quantico had some very good writers and deserved a chance. I’m older then your 18 to 49 year old viewers and I resent the fact that people who make the decisions to keep or take a series off the air base it around 18 to 49 year olds because they think that if your older then 49 your basicly dead
I’m definitely in that age range and my friends and I love this series! I would love to see it come back
My husband and I really loved the show, was sad to see season 4 won’t be happening! Still seems like a lot of viewers to us. Maybe Netflix can make it theirs and make a season 4 to see how it goes.
It’s 1 of my 3 favorite shows if not my favorite!! Thrilling drama suspense and you never know what’s next!!!!!
Absolutely I am so bummed!!!
