Josh Safran, the showrunner of Priyanka Chopra's Quantico, has teased that the upcoming episodes will deal with President Donald Trump and his policies. Quantico debuted its latest series reboot on Monday in the US, effectively swapping in Trump for terrorism and kicking off the plot for the remaining nine episodes in the ABC drama's second season.


Since Trump's election, Quantico, like many shows currently airing on broadcast and cable, has shifted its lens from fantasy in a bid to reflect more of real-life political climate and cultural landscape.


“We are in sort of a paradigm shift for the show,” Safran told The Hollywood Reporter. “We are now looking at the ways in which people profit off of terror and it allows us to build a plot around something that is real and possible.”

Asked if there are too many shows tackling Trump on TV, Safran said, “That's the role of art in any time, to reflect the time that it's in. When there's political upheaval or unrest in the country, artistes tend to skew towards politics and how they relate to people. That's why you are seeing so many shows turning in that direction.”
