The visibility from the Quantico series has served as a launchpad for a truly global career, transitioning her from a Bollywood icon to a bona fide Hollywood leading lady and producer. She has successfully leveraged her brand to become a major force in the entertainment industry.
In the coming years, Chopra Jonas is set to dominate the action genre. Her upcoming projects are massive in scale, demonstrating her star power. She is co-starring with A-listers in the highly anticipated spy film Heads of State, a major 2025 release for Amazon Prime Video. Following this, she will lead The Bluff, another action-adventure film set on a remote island. Crucially, her collaboration with legendary Indian director S.S. Rajamouli on the film Varanasi marks a significant move, blending her Hollywood success with her roots in Indian cinema, a project that is one of the most expensive Indian movies ever made.
Life After the Academy: Current Television Dominance
While Alex Parrish found herself entangled in a complex terrorism plot, the rest of the Quantico cast has found stability and success in the procedural and drama genres of American network television. This shift from the mystery thriller format to more traditional, long-running roles highlights the versatility and marketability of the former FBI recruits.
Jake McLaughlin's career post-Quantico has been anchored by his role on the ABC series Will Trent. Starring as Detective Michael Ormewood, McLaughlin is able to showcase his ability to portray a complex character rooted in law enforcement, a natural progression from his role as Ryan Booth. The show's success has solidified his position as a reliable leading man in the crime drama space. His background as a former U.S. Army infantryman brings a unique authenticity to his on-screen portrayals of disciplined, complex men.
Similarly, Tate Ellington, who played the enigmatic Simon Asher, has found a new home in the Law & Order universe. His promotion to a series regular on Law & Order: Organized Crime for its fifth season in 2025 is a testament to his consistent work. He plays a tech whiz, a role that allows him to tap into the intelligence and intensity he brought to the character of Simon.
The Versatile Paths of the Ensemble Cast
The remaining core cast members have embraced a wide array of projects, proving their ability to adapt to different genres and platforms, a key factor in achieving topical authority in their respective fields.
Yasmine Al Massri, celebrated for her challenging dual role as Nimah and Raina Amin, has focused on projects that align with her artistic and advocacy passions. Her involvement in co-writing and producing new scripts, coupled with her participation in the 2025 film Palestine 36, shows a dedication to telling diverse and meaningful stories. Her work extends beyond acting, cementing her status as a multidisciplinary artist and human rights advocate.
Graham Rogers (Caleb Haas) is one of the busiest members of the cast, with a steady stream of roles in recent and upcoming television series. His appearances in Doctor Odyssey and High Potential in 2024, followed by a starring role in Leanne in 2025, demonstrate his consistent presence in the television ecosystem. This continuous work across different series keeps him highly relevant in the modern streaming and network landscape.
Finally, Johanna Braddy (Shelby Wyatt) has also maintained a strong footing in television. Her guest role in the long-running procedural Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2024 and her part in the second season of the critically acclaimed series Mo in 2025 indicate a strategic move to take on diverse, impactful roles outside of the intense mystery genre. The entire cast of Quantico has proven that their training at the fictional FBI academy prepared them not just for on-screen espionage, but for long-term, successful careers across the global entertainment industry.
