Priyanka Chopra cast in ABC drama Quantico

May 13, 2015 02:06

Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra is heading to American television with a lead role in the ABC drama Quantico.

"Wow. I'm still reeling," she said last night at a party to celebrate the presentations in New York this week where networks unveil new programming to advertisers.

"Quantico was my first pick out of everything ABC sent me ... and I got it, so I was like, 'and it got picked up,' so it all happened so fast. I just hope it's amazing and people love it."

Chopra plays an FBI trainee at Quantico Base in Virginia.

"All of (the FBI agents) have secret pasts and something happens where one of us is blamed and then I have to find out who did it," she laughed, adding that there's "a lot of drama and all the fun, of course."

"American TV is at the best place it has ever been. It has incredible content," she said.
