ABC has confirmed the renewal of “High Potential” for a third season, according to reports. This decision comes amid the departure of Todd Harthan, the series showrunner, who is leaving to focus on a live-action adaptation of “Eragon” for Disney+. A new showrunner will be appointed in due course.
“High Potential” features a prominent cast that includes Kaitlin Olson as Morgan Gillory, Daniel Sunjata as Adam Karadec, and Javicia Leslie as Daphne Forrester, among others. The series has garnered attention for its engaging storylines and character development over its two seasons.
As viewers look forward to the remaining episodes of Season 2, which air on Tuesdays at 9 PM ET, Harthan has indicated that significant developments are on the horizon. He hinted at an upcoming episode centring on Daphne, describing it as a “big one.” The recent episodes have explored Oz’s family dynamics, while details about Selena Soto’s backstory have also emerged, intensifying interest in Daphne’s life outside work.
In addition, Captain Wagner’s return is expected to introduce substantial plot twists that will impact the entire cast. Harthan noted that upcoming episodes will include significant developments for the character Roman and will feature exciting guest stars, promising some of the most compelling cases yet.
The changes at the top of the production team may signal a new direction for “High Potential.” Fans are encouraged to voice their opinions regarding the future of the show and their reactions to Harthan’s departure.
