The wait for Fall TV is finally over, which means we’ve got an influx of series hitting the small screen, including a new crop of procedurals. On ABC, that includes “High Potential,” the comedic crime procedural from “The Martian” and “Daredevil” writer Drew Goddard.
Based on the hit French series “HIP: High Intellectual Potential,” the hour-long comedy stars “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “The Mick” actress Kaitlin Olson as Morgan, a single mother and so-called “high potential individual” with an exceptional IQ and a knack for solving crimes. After the cops take notice of her unique skills, Morgan gets the chance to put that potential to use by cracking cases.
The series also stars Daniel Sunjata as Karadec, Javicia Leslie as Daphne, Deniz Akdeniz as Lev “Oz” Ozdil, Amirah J as Ava, Matthew Lamb as Elliot and Judy Reyes as Selena.
Here’s everything to know about where to watch “High Potential,” whether you have cable or prefer to catch it on streaming.
