Season 2 of “High Potential” has been on a midseason break since Oct. 28, but when does the comedy drama return?
There won’t be a new episode of “High Potential” on Tuesday, Dec. 23. Season 2 of the ABC series will resume on Tuesday, Jan. 6.
“High Potential” stars Kaitlin Olson as Morgan Gillory, a single mother of three with an unusually high IQ of 160. Due to her extraordinary observation skills, well of obscure knowledge and unorthodox thinking patterns, Morgan was recruited to work as a consultant for the Los Angeles Police Department.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for season 2 of “High Potential.”
The last time “High Potential” viewers saw Morgan, she and her partner Detective Adam Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) were investigating the theft of a Rembrandt painting. After Morgan returned to the crime scene without notifying anyone from the LAPD, she received a verbal lashing from new captain Nick Wagner (Steve Howey), who called her behavior “reckless and insubordinate.”
Later in the midseason finale, Wagner pressed Karadec for details on a case that’s very close to Morgan’s heart: the disappearance of her husband Roman. Roman went missing when Morgan’s teenage daughter Ava (Amirah J) was just a baby. The LAPD managed to track down a man named Arthur (Mekhi Phifer), who gave Morgan a backpack that belonged to Roman.
The Roman storyline ended on a cliffhanger during the midseason finale. After the LAPD found photos of an unidentified man (John Pyper-Ferguson) in Roman’s backpack, that same man showed up unexpected in Arthur’s car. He threatened him, telling him to get ahold of the backpack again.

The stolen painting case will also continue when “High Potential” returns in January. Things turned romantic between Morgan and art recovery specialist Rhys Eastman (Aiden Turner) before she realized that Rhys was the art thief they’d been chasing. At that exact moment, Karadec called to inform Morgan that the museum director (Reggie De Leon) had been found dead.
Viewers will have to wait until “High Potential” returns on Jan. 6 to learn Rhys’ true motives. Morgan already determined that the theft was not about money, seeing as more valuable paintings were left untouched.
“High Potential” also stars Javicia Leslie (Daphne Forrester), Deniz Akdeniz (Lev “Oz” Özdil), Matthew Lamb (Elliot Radovic), Judy Reyes (Selena Soto) and Taran Killam (Ludo Radovic).
“High Potential” is available to stream on Hulu.
