10 things about Priyanka Chopra's Quantico

Tuesday, 3 March 2015 - 6:15am IST | Place: Mumbai | Agency: dna | From the print edition
What you ought to know about Priyanka Chopra's new show on ABC

1. It's called Quantico and will be set in the city formerly known as Potomac in Virginia, USA where the Federal Bureau Of Investigation has a training facility on a Marine Corps base.

2. The only other show to be set there isCriminal Minds, which, incidentally, was also called Quantico in its pilot episode.

3. The show, which belongs to the drama/thriller genre, is being described as 'Grey's Anatomy' meets 'Homeland'.

4. PC's character's name is Alex Weaver. So our guess is she's not playing an Indian, but don't count out the possibility that the name might just be a front or that she plays someone of mixed origin.

5. She's playing a brilliant yet haunted FBI recruit. Where have we heard that before? That's a plot point even Homeland and Blacklist shares, no?

6. The wording in most releases is precise. "It's a drama pilot" for now. One of many ABC is putting out this year. A pilot out doesn't necessarily mean a show gets greenlit. But who are we kidding? It's PC, the show's about the FBI, Mark Gordon is executive producing (he has a long-standing relationship with ABC)... the push to season might just happen.

7. The characters of the young cast has very specific reasons for joining. What is Alex's is still unknown. But you will know soon enough. As the release says, "her past boils to the surface soon after her arrival at Quantico". The recruits will undergo 21 weeks of training. That's a lot of seasons planned!

8. At the outset, PC won't play the female lead for sure. That role will be played by Aunjanue Ellis, who was last seen in The Book of Negroes. Ellis will play the director of the FBI base at Quantico and will oversee training the recruits.

9. One of the recruits is harbouring the biggest secret of all. He/she is a sleeper cell terrorist who will in the near future carry out a deadly attack on US soil, not unlike 9/11.

10. Since PC's episode run hasn't been confirmed yet and she has not really cutBollywood ties, she could, in all probability, be the sleeper terrorist in question, right? Well, chances are any of those other recruits could also be it.

She's not the lead lol so what was the big deal about ? Everyone was excited as if she was the leading actress or something. Sorry but this is hardly an achievement sounds like a reoccurring guest role

If it gets picked up, how will Priyanka manage both the tv filming schedule and her Bollywood career? Normally American (As the British ones normally have 6) tv shows have 23 episodes per season. So really the actors film over nine months during which they get a couple of weeks off, and then the longer hiatus. But even so, that's three months. Say whatever you will about Bollywood, but there is no way you 'complete' a Bollywood film in that time-from pre production to promotion at the end.

I wonder how she pulls it off.

As to the show itself? I'm not huge on this genre, undoubtedly it's become more popular since Homeland, but I wish her well, all the same.

Good for her. She's a star in her own country and is gonna play a supporting role instead in the US. She's one of the few that will step outside their comfort zone and that too in her prime. I'm glad she wants a bigger legacy and she's taking a risk. It's so easy to pull people down-=I hope it realy takes her places.

I'm all for it. I'm a daily abc viewer anyway. 😆 I think, time will tell if pilot picks up or if it comes back w/ season 2; then can easily say she's done something.

I dont think she really has any BW committments. She has done filming for BM as well as DKD. She only has to promote. The rest of her projects are pre-production. Till the film goes on floors much money isnt spent on it and she can easily back out or postpone them.

She can play Indian, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Latin American to name a few ethnicities. The problem however will be her accent. Her accent is obviously Indian so I don't know how they'll work around that. Or she could be taking speech classes now.
