Usually when a TV network unveils its Fall TV lineup, I can find reasons to celebrate, even if I’m not extremely invested in all the slotted-out shows. But ABC’s plan for the 2026 TV schedule has left me as gutted as an Upfronts-related schedule can possibly gut anyone. Because High Potential is missing! Dun-dun-dunnnn!!
ABC only recently finished confirming its on-the-bubble drama and comedy renewals, giving Scott Speedman’s RJ Decker a second season a few days prior to the Upfronts. But High Potential was renewed for Season 3 back in March, so there were some expectations about when we might see the aftermath of that shocking Season 2 finale that left Cpt. Wagner bleeding out on Morgan’s lap. Namely, that it’d be in the fall along with most of the other broadcast premieres.
