'High Potential' Season 2: Get Ready for More Crime-Solving!
The critically acclaimed crime drama, 'High Potential,' is making its highly anticipated return! Season 2 premieres on ABC on September 16th at 10 p.m. ET and will be available on Disney+ in the UK and Ireland starting September 17th. Get ready for more unconventional crime-solving with Kaitlin Olson as Morgan Gillroy, a single mother with a genius mind.
Season 1 introduced us to Morgan, an overnight cleaner at the LAPD who cracks an unsolved case, leading to a consulting role. Now, she's back to help solve even tougher cases in Los Angeles.
Who's Who in 'High Potential' Season 2?
Olson stars alongside Daniel Sunjata (Adam Karadec), Javicia Leslie (Daphne Forrester), Deniz Akdeniz (Oz), Amirah J (Ava Gillroy), and Judy Reyes (Selena Soto). This season also welcomes Steve Howey (Reba, Shameless) as Jesse Wagner, the precinct’s new captain. Jesse is described as a savvy political animal who knows how to work a room and isn't afraid to think outside the box, much like Morgan.
Other returning cast members include Taran Killam, JD Pardo, and Garret Dillahunt. Mekhi Phifer (ER) is also joining the cast this season.
What to Expect in Season 2
The first two episode descriptions are out! Episode 201, “Pawns,” sees Morgan juggling family threats while being pulled back into a dangerous game. The LAPD must decide whether to trust her instincts before it's too late. In Episode 202, “Checkmate,” the Major Crimes team investigates unresolved crimes, with Morgan suspecting the Game Maker's involvement. Daphne and Oz search for Roman, and Elliot prepares for a talent show.
