Watch: Why ABC’s High Potential Won’t Return to TV Until 2027
Morgan Gillory will be back to solving crimes very soon.
High Potential‘s third season will premiere Jan. 5, 2027, on ABC, the network confirmed after previously announcing that it wouldn’t be part of its fall 2026 slate as expected.
“Hi, I’m Morgan,” the show’s star Kaitlin Olson said in a video posted to the show’s official Instagram Nov. 7. “I’m a consultant for the LAPD, and I tend to see things that other people miss.”
“For example, bet you didn’t see this,” she added before the clip revealed its season three premiere date. “I’m a genius, don’t feel bad—unless you’re also a genius and then, maybe you should.”
Naturally, fans of High Potential—which concluded its second season back in April—celebrated the news in the comment section, with one person writing, “I feel like I’ve just been reborn.”
A second person commented that they “missed her sarcasm so much,” while another user said that they “literally cannot wait” for the show’s return.
Season three will give fans answers after season two ended with a shocking finale cliffhanger, with Steve Howey‘s Captain Nick Wagner’s fate up in the air after Mallory found him with stab wounds.
Olson—who is also an executive producer on the series—admitted after the episode aired that it featured “a lot of cliffhangers” and that Nick “was stabbed a lot.”
“There are so many places that we can go with this next season,” she told People in May. “It’s very exciting and it definitely starts with, does Wagner make it or not?”
Regardless of whether or not Nick survives his injuries, his dog Ingrid will be just fine.

“Oh my God! Don’t even worry about the dog,” Olson shared. “Ingrid’s coming home. The entire season can be about that dog as far as I’m concerned. I loved her.”
High Potential isn’t the only upcoming show to look forward to. Keep reading for more TV premieres we’re excited about…
