Information is finally pouring in about the next season of Quantico. Here’s what we know so far.
When will ‘Quantico’ season 3 premiere?
It feels like it’s been forever since we last saw Alex Parrish and co. shaking things up on our screens. Unfortunately, we still have quite a while to wait before season 3 premieres.
The third season of Quantico will premiere on Thursday, April 26 at 10/9c. That’s almost a full year after the season 2 finale!
Which characters are returning?
The cast of series regulars for Quantico season 3 is small, but mighty. The people returning are Priyanka Chopra as Alex Parrish, Blair Underwood as Owen Hall, Johanna Brady as Shelby Wyatt, Jake McLaughlin as Ryan Booth, and Russell Tovey as Harry Doyle! We missed Harry a lot in the second half of Quantico season 2, so it’s exciting to have him back as a regular.
Where is Alex Parrish now?
At the end of Quantico season 2, Alex was forced to go on the run. Apparently, season 3 will pick up three years after that! The following synopsis for season 3 tells us exactly what she’s been up to, and what we can expect for the season.
It’s been three years since American hero Alex Parrish has had to navigate the dangerous waters of the Central Intelligence Agency and put her life on the line for her country. She has been living a peaceful, anonymous life somewhere in Italy. However, Alex is forced to abandon this idyllic existence when Ryan persuades her to help him rescue Shelby from a notorious international arms dealer known only as The Widow, who is holding her hostage – and in exchange for her release she demands something that only Alex can provide. Ryan and Alex recruit Owen and Harry to help rescue their friend and defeat the villain. To help the cause, Owen brings in former agent Jocelyn Turner (Marlee Matlin), who has her own dark past with The Widow. A whole new future lies ahead for this team when they agree to work together as an elite black-ops task force. The thrilling, heart-stopping adventures continue.
What’s changing from previous seasons?
There’s going to be a lot of changes for Quantico seasom 3. For starters, the season will have 13 episodes instead of its usual 22. Also, the show’s creator and showrunner, Joshua Safran, will be stepping down to a consultant position. Michael Seltzman will be taking over as showrunner. He is also the showrunner of Code Black.
Two new characters are series regulars for season 3. Marlee Martin will star as Jocelyn Turner, a deaf former agent with knowledge of the season’s villain, and Alan Powell will star as Mike McQuigg, who is undercover in a white supremacist militia involved in a bioweapon attack.
Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing Nimah and Raina this season, at least not as regulars. Yasmine Al-Massri will not be returning for the season. No word yet on if we’ll be seeing any members of the Haas family.
