The show received an eleventh-hour renewal from ABC, but without creator and showrunner Josh Safran, who exited the show following Season 2.
The search is still on for a new showrunner, and though Safran will remain as a consultant, it’s clear that Quantico is trying to shake things up and will likely look different when it comes back for Season 3.
No explicit reason was given for the departures, but its likely due to creative shake-ups that are currently underway.
Though the show had solid ratings throughout Season 1, that number plummetted the following year (though it still does sneakily well on DVR).
