ABC’s ‘High Potential’ Renewed for Season Two After Strong Finale Ratings

LOS ANGELES, CA — ABC‘s crime drama ‘High Potential,’ led by Kaitlin Olson, wrapped its inaugural season with a successful finale that tied its season high in total viewers. It also achieved a new personal best in the crucial ‘adults 18-49’ demographic, prompting excitement from fans and creators alike.

The positive ratings have paved the way for a second season renewal. Olson expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “I just fell in love with this character. I love the idea of playing something different. This woman is a very good mom and a really good person deep down, and my other characters not so much, and I just wanted to do something different.” This connection to the character has excited both viewers and the production team.

While an official return date for Season Two has not yet been announced, industry insiders speculate it will debut in September 2025. ABC’s decision to renew ‘High Potential’ reflects a growing trend in the television landscape where shows that resonate with viewers are given additional opportunities to shine.

The first season featured 13 episodes, but fans can expect Season Two to consist of more episodes, adding to the anticipation. ABC recently confirmed the renewal along with several other popular titles for upcoming seasons, including ‘Abbott Elementary’ and ‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.’

As the broadcast networks continue to evolve, the strong performance of shows like ‘High Potential’ provides hope for future television seasons. Their success highlights the enduring appeal of engaging storytelling.
