We\u2019re going to play with all those elements in the premiere,\u201d Harthan promised. \u201cAnd I think the finish is super surprising in the second part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If Rhys isn\u2019t guilty of the crime Morgan suspects, does that mean that she has a potential future with him? \u201cYou have to wait and see, but he was wonderful and they had great chemistry, and we\u2019ve been very fortunate [to have] our pick of really amazing actors,\u201d Harthan noted of Turner\u2019s addition to the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Of course, fans are eager to see the will-they-won\u2019t-they situation progress between Morgan and her partner, Karadec (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/daniel-sunjata\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Daniel Sunjata;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Daniel Sunjata<\/a>). It seems they\u2019ll have to wait a little longer for that potential to unfold. In the meantime, we can\u2019t help but wonder if Morgan\u2019s suspicions will be proven true. As fans may recall, the case she was working on involved a piece of art being stolen from a gallery, where the piece was on loan from an art collector couple. But the painting had apparently been stolen years prior amid wartime chaos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Morgan was conflicted about who she believed the painting belonged with, and so, if Rhys had stolen the piece, is it possible his motivation could align with hers? We\u2019ll have to tune in to find out. Let us know your theories in the comments section below, and stay tuned for updates as we gear up for Season 2\u2019s return in the new year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em><strong>High Potential<\/strong><\/em><strong>, Midseason 2 Premiere, Tuesday, January 6, 2026, 9\/8c, ABC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the latest entertainment news on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TV Insider;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TV Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High Potential may be on a winter hiatus, but that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t speculate where Morgan\u2019s (Kaitlin Olson) story is heading after that midseason finale cliffhanger.
