I guess we all (PC included probably) thought it would get cancelled, but Quantico has been renewed for Season 3 but with a reduced number of episodes (13 instead of 22/23).


Quantico' Renewed for Short Season 3 by ABC

"Quantico" has been renewed for a third season at ABC. The Priyanka Chopra-led espionage drama has received an order for an abbreviated run of 13 episodes.

With the renewal, creator and executive producer Josh Safran will exit his role as showrunner on the series. He will remain with the show's third season as a consultant. A search for a new showrunner for the ABC Studios drama is underway.

"Quantico" was the one series from ABC's 2016-17 whose fate remained unresolved heading into this week's upfront presentation in New York after ABc issued a flurry of renewals, cancellations, and new series pickups last week.

Season two of "Quantico" has averaged a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demo over 21 episodes, according to Nielsen live-plus-same day numbers. That's down 45% from the first season of the show. Season two also averaged 2.8 million total viewers, down 36 percent from the previous season.

With its pickup of "American Idol," slated according to sources for around 40 broadcast hours next spring, ABC faces a scheduling crunch heading into its upfront presentation in Lincoln Center. The series join previously renewed ABC comedies "Black-ish," "Modern Family" (for two seasons), "American Housewife," "Fresh Off the Boat," "Speechless," "The Goldbergs" (for two seasons), and "The Middle," along with dramas "Once Upon a Time," "Designated Survivor," "Agents of SHIELD," "Grey's Anatomy," and "How to Get Away With Murder." "Scandal" had previously been renewed for season seven, which will reportedly be the show's last. The network has canceled "The Real O'Neals," "Imaginary Mary," "The Catch," "Dr. Ken," "Last Man Standing," "American Crime," and "Secrets and Lies." ABC had previously canceled freshman dramas "Time After Time," "Notorious," and "Conviction."

I think season 2 started out like that too, no? With half a season and then got renewed for the full season?

No, it was actually Season 1 you're thinking of. Season 1 started out as 13 episodes and then was extended to 22/23 episodes. Season 2 was renewed from Season 1 for a full season of 22 episodes, but since the ratings have been poor for Season 2 there were rumours that Quantico would get cancelled. So far ABC has renewed Season 3 for a half-season (13 episodes) and if the ratings improve they will probably extend it to a full season of 22 episodes, but I seriously doubt it.

PC looks a little bored with the show too, I'm sure she would rather move back to movies instead, especially since she already has a few offers lined up.

^^ Agreed. TV shows are a lot of commitment, leaves you with very little time to do much else. Id prefer her focus on other things now too. Quantico has served its purpose for her

13 episodes is perfect! She can still have the ABC backing and have more time to do movies as well! ABC canceled a lot of shows so it's amazing that Quantico even has a season 3.

Pretty sure this is exactly what she wanted! Priyanka's original contract with ABC was for 13 episode seasons and she wasn't that happy when they extended to 22 episodes throwing her schedule, movies and other work for a toss.

The ratings are at an all-time low, so I am totally surprised that this dud even got renewed for another season :/
