ABC’s breakout hit High Potential is officially returning for a second season, continuing its unique blend of comedy and crime-solving. Based on the French series HPI, the show follows Morgan (Kaitlin Olson), a brilliant woman with a 160 IQ who starts as a janitor at the LAPD before proving her skills in solving complex cases. Her sharp mind earns her a consulting role with the police, leading to an entertaining mix of investigative drama and humor.
Latest Updates on Season 2
Following a successful first season, High Potential was quickly renewed for a sophomore outing. The series saw strong ratings, especially after moving to a 9 p.m. slot, averaging 5.74 million same-day viewers. With such impressive numbers, ABC had no choice but to greenlight another season, making High Potential one of the network’s top new shows alongside Abbott Elementary.
Who’s Returning?
The core cast is expected to return for Season 2, including:
- Kaitlin Olson as Morgan
- Daniel Sunjata as Detective Karadec
- Javicia Leslie as Daphne
- Deniz Akdeniz as “Oz” Ozdil
- Amirah J as Ava
- Matthew Lamb as Elliot
- Judy Reyes as Selena
Olson’s portrayal of Morgan has been a standout, proving she can transition from her comedic roots in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia to a more grounded yet equally entertaining role.
What to Expect in Season 2
While Season 1 may resolve some major plotlines, Morgan’s search for answers regarding Roman’s disappearance is likely to continue. Using her genius intellect and LAPD resources, she may uncover deeper secrets, possibly leading to a larger mystery. Meanwhile, her unconventional methods will continue to challenge her detective colleagues as they solve new crimes each week.
When Will Season 2 Premiere?
ABC has yet to announce an official release date, but given the show’s success, High Potential Season 2 is expected to premiere in Fall 2025 or early 2026. If production follows a similar schedule to the first season, filming could begin in mid-to-late 2025. However, potential scheduling or production delays could push the release further.
With its fresh take on the procedural genre and a stellar cast, High Potential Season 2 is shaping up to be another must-watch hit for ABC.
