Fans of the hit crime drama High Potential face a longer wait for Season 3, as ABC has moved the show to a midseason slot, meaning the earliest possible release is January 2027. The series, which streams on Disney+ in the UK, previously aired in autumn but will now debut in the new year, following a scheduling shake-up announced by the network.
The decision, explained by ABC's senior vice president of content strategy and scheduling, Ari Goldman, is designed to allow uninterrupted runs of episodes. Goldman noted that the move mirrors successful strategies for shows like Will Trent and The Rookie, which have thrived with consistent weekly releases starting in January. He added that the change aims to benefit both linear and streaming audiences by avoiding gaps caused by holidays or events like the Winter Olympics, which affected previous seasons.
Season 3 will also see new showrunners, with sisters Lila and Nora Zuckerman taking over from Todd Harthan, who stepped down after the Season 2 finale. The Zuckermans previously worked on Poker Face, Suits, and Agents of Shield. The episode count for the upcoming season has not been confirmed, but Goldman hinted at a 'really full season' without providing specifics.
High Potential, starring Kaitlin Olson as Morgan, a single mother with a brilliant mind who helps solve crimes, has earned critical acclaim, including a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The series is adapted from the French Belgian show Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI).
