Along with Baywatch, Priyanka Chopra is also gearing up for the second season of her popular ABC show, Quantico. The actor, who rose to international fame with her portrayal of FBI agent Alex Parrish in the show, says the new season will have more "manipulation, deception, attraction and action."

Talking about the response Quantico has generated in India, Priyanka said:

"I'm elated by the amazing response that Quantico has received by audiences across the globe and especially in India. With all new episodes starting on 12 March, we got some crazy new plot twists and new characters that will continue to keep you guessing! You will see manipulation, deception, attraction, action while trying to figure out the real traitor amongst us."

While the new season has started in the West from 6 March, the Indian audience can watch it from 12 March. The show will be telecast on Star World, Star World HD and Star World Premiere.

Priyanka plays Alex, an FBI recruit who becomes a suspect in a terrorist bombing in New York's Grand Central Station. The show's storytelling prism shifts between the present day with Parrish navigating her way through a class of FBI new agent trainees to the near future as the truth and repercussions of the attack emerge.

The winter finale ended on a frantic tempo as Alex's guilty plea forced her to surrender to the FBI for at least 24 hours before being taken to federal prison.
