Of all the network shows returning to primetime on the 2025 TV schedule, I gotta say that ABC’s High Potential hovers near the top, in large part due to the murder-fueled dramedy laying out three cliffhangers in its Season 1 finale. Many shows can’t pull off ONE good cliffhanger, so Kaitlin Olson’s Morgan dealing with a troublesome trio is a sign of the creative team’s talents. I’ve worried that Season 2 will keep audiences waiting for follow-ups and resolutions, but Olson and co-star Daniel Sunjata hare allayed my fretting.
Just for a quick refresher: the episode “Let’s Play” ended with Morgan realizing she’d unwittingly made contact with the mystery Gamemaster killer portrayed by David Giuntoli, and that they might have some kind of underlying connection. Second, Karadec got some information from Domenick Lombardozzi’s Conforth that will supposedly lead to Morgan’s long-missing husband Roman’s current location. Third, Morgan’s would-be romance with JD Pardo’s Tom was upended when she ghosted him at the LAPD banquet. (The actor’s new Netflix show makes his return less likely, too.)
