ABC's new TV series "Quantico" recorded solid ratings thanks to its delayed viewing.
Variety reported that Nielsen's "live-plus 3" estimates "Quantico" grew from its previously reported same-night number by 62% (or 1.19 ratings points) in adults 18-49 (1.93 to 3.12)."
"Quantico" TV series tells the story of Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra), an FBI academy graduate who is suspected as the mastermind behind the biggest terror attack in the United States since 9/11.
Through flashbacks, audiences get to know who among her and her classmates is the most probable terrorist.
As early as now, audiences already have their guesses. Who is the terrorist? Executive producer Josh Safran was asked the same question but of course, he can't and won't snitch the identity of the suspect.
"The truth of the matter is they're all suspects," he told Entertainment Weekly. "It's important to note that you'll meet other NATs as the season progresses. We look at it much like Lost in that you're meeting new people from different rows of the plane as the series progresses, so you're meeting new trainees, and the trainees are just as much suspects as anyone you meet in the pilot."
EW's Natalie Abrams did point out though which character audiences should be worried about.
"I'd keep my eye on Brandon Fletcher (Jacob Artist), who'll make his debut in episode 5," she wrote on the same post.
Safran also teased on Gossip and Gab that the story will only continue to expand in each "Quantico" TV series episode.
"I'm hoping the audience comes to see that those 180s that happened at the end of the pilot are not just shocking twists, but a road map for where these characters are going and moving forward ... The writers and I talked about it as a snapshot that keeps widening out more and more, and then suddenly, the more people that are in the snapshot, the more you begin to realize how they're connected," he said.
The next "Quantico" TV series episode is titled "America." Read synopsis below.
"Alex is on the run and must outsmart Liam and his team to get into her apartment for anything that could help clear her name. Meanwhile, in a flashback to Quantico training, the NATS are tasked with finding a needle in a haystack while looking for potential threats to national security."
