The terrorism drama, Quantico, starring Priyanka Chopra has been cancelled after its third season, the finale of which will now serve as the series ender.

Quantico, produced by Mark Gordon, was a breakout when it debuted in 2015, setting delayed viewing lift records. But with its dense narrative and heavy serialisation, the series started to lose momentum in the second half of its first season and continued to see declines through Season 2 and into Season 3.

It came down-to-the-wire last May for the drama series when it scored a last-minute abbreviated Season 3 renewal with a reduced license fee and new creative under a new showrunner.

Created by Joshua Safran, the show stars Priyanka as Alex Parrish -- an FBI recruit who joins the agency after graduating from the FBI Academy and becomes a prime suspect of a terrorist attack on Grand Central Terminal.

Season 3 saw Alex going back to navigating the dangerous waters of the CIA that she left behind when she retired to Italy. The Indian actor received global acclaim after the show and also won two People's Choice Awards for her role.

The cast also includes Jake McLaughlin, Johanna Braddy, Russell Tovey, Alan Powell, Marlee Matlin and Blair Underwood.
