Priyanka will play Alex Weaver, a brilliant but haunted FBI trainee whose past boils to the surface soon after her arrival at Quantico.

'Quantico' has been executive produced by Mark Gordon, Josh Safran and Nick Pepper.

The ABC deal comes after Priyanka had a voice role in the animated feature 'Planes'.

The actress's first single, 'In My City', was also selected as the theme song to the 2013 season of the NFL Network's Thursday Night Football and her cover of Bonnie Raitt's 'I Can't Make You Love Me' was featured in a nationwide campaign for Beats By Dre.

She also became the first woman of Indian descent to be named a Guess Girl.
