ABC Cancels `Quantico`, `Alex, Inc.` |
ABC has decided to pull the plug on a host of shows, including Priyanka Chopra`s “Quantico,” Indian American actor Kal Penn`s “Designated Survivor” and Tiya Sircar`s “Alex Inc.” “Quantico,” currently in its third and abbreviated season, was off the air for almost a year before returning April 26. In the third season, Chopra`s character Alex Parrish is forced to abandon her serene, anonymous life in Italy to once again risk it all for her country. The premiere opened to a lackluster 0.5 rating in the adults 18-49 demo and less than 3 million total viewers — tying its series low,” according to The Hollywood Reporter, which also adds: “Still, the ABC Studios-produced drama has strong international sales, thanks in part to Chopra`s massive following. ”The current season of both “Quantico” and “Designated Survivor” will continue to air.“Alex, Inc.,” which was based on Alex Blumberg`s successful podcast, “StartUp,” has been cancelled after just one season.
