High Potential returned to ABC in the fall 2025 TV schedule for a second season of episodes showing off that Kaitlin Olson can do a lot more than just the comedy of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The plot is about as thick as it's ever been following the midseason finale, but many fans are bummed to learn that the break after that midseason finale is going to be pretty lengthy. There are only so many times you can rewatch episodes with a Hulu subscription before getting antsy for new installments!
The Season 2 fall finale of High Potential aired on Tuesday, October 28, and that will be the last that fans see of the characters until the new year. ABC has confirmed that the drama will be back on January 6, 2026 as part of a shuffled Tuesday night lineup, which will be comprised of Will Trent Season 4 at 8 p.m. ET, High Potential at 9 p.m. ET, and The Rookie Season 8 at 10 p.m. ET. That means a hiatus of more than two full months, although Will Trent and The Rookie fans have been waiting much longer. (Those two have been off the air since May 2025.)
