High Potential Fans Face a Midseason Hiatus — Here’s When It Returns
If you’ve been tuning in every week for High Potential , the hit ABC crime dramedy starring Kaitlin Olson, you might’ve noticed something missing on your TV schedule this week. That’s right — there’s no new episode airing tonight. But before anyone panics, let’s break down what’s happening and when you can expect Morgan and Karadec back on your screens.
When High Potential first launched in September 2024, fans were instantly intrigued by Kaitlin Olson’s sharp, chaotic charm as Morgan, a single mom of three who becomes a consultant for the LAPD’s Major Crimes Division. Working alongside Detective Adam Karadec, played by Daniel Sunjata, Morgan uses her unorthodox intelligence and humor to crack cases in ways no one expects. Their odd-couple chemistry — serious detective meets offbeat genius — quickly became one of the show’s biggest draws, leading to strong ratings and a fast renewal for Season 2.

Season 2 premiered in September 2025 and delivered seven exciting new episodes before taking an unexpected pause. Unfortunately, High Potential aired its midseason finale on October 28, and the show is now officially on hiatus. According to ABC and the show’s Instagram announcement on October 29, fans will have to wait until Tuesday, January 6, 2026 , for new episodes to resume. The winter premiere will air at 9 p.m. ET on ABC, with streaming available the next day on Hulu and Disney+.
Naturally, the news sparked plenty of fan reactions online. Some viewers weren’t thrilled about the break, with one fan joking, “Who told y’all it was okay to do a midseason finale? We just got it back!” Others shared their excitement for the return, calling it their “favorite show” and counting down the days until January.
As for why the break is happening — it’s simply part of ABC’s usual midseason scheduling shuffle. With holiday programming and specials like Dancing with the Stars taking over prime slots, High Potential is getting a brief rest before rolling out the remaining 11 episodes of Season 2 in the new year.
Despite the wait, the series continues to be one of ABC’s most talked-about new hits. Kaitlin Olson herself shared in an interview with Esquire that the show resonates because people see parts of themselves in Morgan — someone smart and capable, but also messy and human. “She’s just doing whatever she can to make it work and make sure her kids are good,” Olson said.
So, while we’ll be without Morgan’s quirky brilliance for the rest of 2025, fans can rest assured — High Potential isn’t going anywhere. The cases, the laughs, and that perfectly imperfect partnership will all return in January, ready to pick up right where things left off.
