Forget the gang, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Kaitlin Olson is taking center stage as a brainiac single mother helping the cops solve crimes in ABC’s new comedic procedural “High Potential.”
Written by “The Martian” and “Daredevil” screenwriter Drew Goddard and inspired by French series “HIP: High Intellectual Potential,” the series also stars Judy Reyes (“Scrubs”) and Daniel Sunjata (“Graceland”) as the officers collaborating with Olson to help crack their hardest cases.
In the tradition of series like “The Mentalist” and “Castle,” the hour-long series promises a comedic slant on the crime procedural, centered on an exceptional and individual mind. For everything you need to know about when and where to watch “High Potential,” read on.
