Synopsis of High Potential

High Potential follows Morgan Gillory, a single mother of three who works as a cleaner at the Los Angeles Police Department. She has an IQ of 160, a score that places her among people with high intellectual potential. Her daily routine revolves around her mop and the corridors of the police station, until she solves a complicated case thanks to unconventional reasoning and a keen power of observation. That success catches the attention of the police, who offer her a position as civilian consultant in the Major Crimes division. There she works alongside Detective Adam Karadec, who at first doesn't believe she can contribute anything to the squad. Meanwhile, Morgan wants to find out what happened to Roman, the father of her daughter Ava, who disappeared when the girl was a baby, and to do so she turns to the resources of the LAPD itself. Created by Drew Goddard, the series airs on ABC and stars Kaitlin Olson.

Trivia about High Potential

The series is based on HPI: Haut potentiel intellectuel, a Franco-Belgian production from 2021 that served as the starting point for the project.
ABC ordered only 13 episodes for the first season, rather than the usual 20, due to the unusual production schedule and Kaitlin Olson's commitment to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia on FX.
High Potential became ABC's most-watched new series in six years, surpassing the record of The Conners for the 2018-2019 season.
The first season has a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 25 critic reviews.
Steve Howey joined the second season as Jesse Wagner, the new police captain, along with Mekhi Phifer and other guest stars.
The second season premiered on ABC on September 16, 2025, with new episodes available on Hulu the following day.
The third season will change the show's usual schedule and will air in the midseason slot of 2027, instead of the fall of 2026.
