Kaitlin Olson, famous for her role as Dee in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, takes on a different character in her latest project. In High Potential, she portrays Morgan, a single mother of three with an exceptional IQ of 160. Morgan’s unique ability to solve problems effortlessly due to her photographic memory and encyclopedic knowledge lands her in the LAPD’s crime-solving world, much to the dismay of detective Adam Karadec. The show, similar to the UK series Ludwig, offers an American twist on crime-solving.
High Potential has been renewed for a second season by ABC, with plans for a longer season than the first. The show’s return date is yet to be announced, but filming is expected to begin in May. The first season, which premiered in September 2024, had a quick turnaround from production to release. However, delays in filming for the second season may push the air date to 2026.
The returning cast for High Potential season 2 includes Kaitlin Olson as Morgan Gillroy, Daniel Sunjata as Adam Karadec, Javicia Leslie as Daphne Forrester, and others. The plot for the upcoming season remains under wraps, but hints suggest a deeper exploration of Morgan’s past and the unfolding mystery surrounding other characters.
UK viewers are still awaiting the release of the remaining episodes of High Potential season 1. The show is available for streaming on ABC and Hulu in the US.
