Indian actress Priyanka Chopra’s TV show Quantico will not be getting a fourth season.
The network ABC has opted to cancel the terrorism drama. Its season three finale will now serve as the series’ conclusion.
Quantico, from ABC Studios and producer Mark Gordon, was a breakout when it debuted in 2015. But with its dense narrative and heavy serialisation, the series started to lose momentum in the second half of its first season and continued to see declines through season two and into season three.
It came down to the wire last May for the series when it scored a last-minute abbreviated season three renewal with a reduced license fee and new creative under a new showrunner.
Created by Joshua Safran, the show starred Chopra as Alex Parrish — an FBI recruit who joins the agency after graduating from the academy and becomes a prime suspect of a terrorist attack on Grand Central Terminal.
Season three saw Alex going back to navigating the dangerous waters of the CIA that she left behind when she retired to Italy. The actress got global acclaim after the show and also won two People’s Choice Awards for her role.
The show airs on Star World and Star World HD.
The cast also included Jake McLaughlin, Johanna Braddy, Russell Tovey, Alan Powell, Marlee Matlin and Blair Underwood.
After the show cancellation was announced, Indian-American actor Kal Penn expressed his desire to work with Chopra. He tweeted to her: “Hey Priyanka Chopra, let’s do a movie.”
Chopra responded: “Done and done Kal Penn.”
