  • Priyanka Chopra's 'Quantico' Gets Picked Up By ABC
American TV show "Quantico", the pilot of which was shot with Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra essaying the female lead, has been picked for telecast by TV network ABC. It will air in fall season.
 
Confirming the news, an excited Priyanka took to micro-blogging website Twitter and shared: "And it's happened #QuanticoABC will air this fall @ABCNetwork @anjulaacharia @tracybrennan007 @kcslee God Bless!yay! (sic)"
 
The 32-year-old actress also shared a photograph of the cast of the show along with her tweet.
 
Priyanka, who is the first Bollywood actress to star in a pilot at ABC and has made her space in the West with her singing talent, plays Alex Parrish, a half-Caucasian, half-Indian FBI trainee with a haunting past. 
 
The show centres on a diverse group of recruits who have arrived at the FBI Quantico Base for training. Being the best and brightest of the lot, it seems impossible that one of them is suspected of masterminding the biggest attack on New York City since 9/11, according to deadline.com.
