“Quantico” had quite the strong start, as the show managed to reach many viewers and remained popular for a while. Still, by the end of the first season it had lost a significant portion of its following, and many were skeptical about its future. For better or worse, a second season is in the works, and it looks like the producers want to get things started on a heated note right from the beginning.
More specifically, there are rumors that Ryan and Alex will take things to the next level in their relationship and finally get married, while at the same time there will be some dangerous moments for other characters in the very first episode of the season.
There are other rumors about major developments coming up right from the start, but there are also some even more interesting talks, claiming that the show could potentially be in for a major overhaul. This could be related to its declining ratings towards the end of season 1, but it might also be a change that was planned beforehand.
In any case, fans have been a bit split about the news, and it looks like not everyone was hoping for significant changes to the formula. After all, the show didn’t completely lose its viewers, and those who stayed must have done so for a reason.
The producers must now walk a fine line trying to please their original fans while also drawing in some new viewers. According to some critics, the main problem with this show is the way it was approached from the beginning. The showrunners practically expected it to be a major hit, and when that didn’t happen, the disappointment must have hit them even harder than if they didn’t have those major expectations.
The producers seem excited for season 2 for what it’s worth, and that’s a positive sign. They seem to recognize that the show lost its way at some point during the first season, and they are apparently trying to get it back on track, but at the same time want to stay true to its roots.
According to a statement from the producers, the new season isn’t completely going to change the formula, but it will still introduce some alterations that were quite necessary. Whether or not this is going to work out in terms of saving the show’s ratings and viewer numbers remains to be seen, but it’s good to see that they are at least trying.
Otherwise, they could have just let “Quantico” quietly die after this season, wasting the huge potential that the show still has. The producers are smart to make an attempt to modify the formula in order to recover their popularity, as there is definitely a lot more they can do with this show and it would be a shame to see it disappearing.
The “restructuring” means that some characters will likely be taken out of the equation, at least temporarily, while others will be brought on. By the end of season 2, the cast could look quite different.
We’ve already seen some news about new actors joining the lineup, and it’s possible that even more fresh new faces will be added during the new season. We just hope that the producers won’t make those changes too drastically though, as this can hurt the show significantly in the long run.
