ABC sees the potential in Kaitlin Olson as amateur sleuth Morgan Guillory.
The alphabet has announced a second season of Olseon’s High Potential, which opened the new year with its largest audience - 12.9 million - across all platforms over seven days, according to Nielsen.
Based on the French and Belgian television series HPI, High Potential centers on Morgan Guillory, a single mother with three children who is a cleaning lady for the Los Angeles Police Department. She has a high potential intellectual (hence the series title), with an IQ of 160. And, after figuring out a case using her unconventional mind, she becomes a consultant for the LAPD's Major Crimes division.
High Potential also stars Daniel Sunjata (Rescue Me) as Karadec, Javicia Leslie (Batwoman) as Daphne, Deniz Akdeniz (The Flight Attendant) as Lev “Oz” Ozdil, Amirah J (Shameless) as Ava, Matthew Lamb (Firebuds) as Elliot, and Judy Reyes (Claws) as Selena.

High Potential nows airs on ABC Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET (out of Will Trent and into The Rookie), and streams the next day on Hulu. Disney’s 20th Television is the studio.
Thirteen episodes were ordered for season one of High Potential, with the number of new episodes for season two not confirmed at press time. Olson also stars on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia FX, which is why there was a shorter freshman season of High Potential. And she has the recurring role of DJ Vance, Debra Vance’s (Jean Smart) daughter, on Hulu comedy Hacks.
