It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s Kaitlin Olson stars in ABC’s new crime procedural High Potential. Debuting on September 17, 2024, the new drama based on the French series Haut Potentiel Intellectuel snagged the prime premiere spot behind Dancing with the Stars.
The season one cast also includes Daniel Sunjata (Power Book II: Ghost) as Detective Adam Karadec, Javicia Leslie (Batwoman) as Detective Daphne Forrester, and Deniz Akdeniz (The Flight Attendant) as Detective Lev “Oz” Ozdil. Amirah J (Shameless) plays Ava, Matthew Lamb (Smile) is Elliot, and Judy Reyes (Succession) is Lt. Selena Soto.
“Written by Drew Goddard (The Good Place) and starring Kaitlin Olson, High Potential follows a single mom with an exceptional mind, whose unconventional knack for solving crimes leads to an unusual and unstoppable partnership with a by-the-book seasoned detective (Sunjata),” reads ABC’s synopsis.
“It’s so different than anything I’ve done before,” said Olson in an interview with TV Guide Magazine. “I still love a scrappy character. Morgan’s incredibly intelligent, but it tortures her. She also is a wonderful mom who cares so much about her kids. It’s a fun departure from the degenerate characters I’ve played.”
Olson went on to say that Morgan’s brain just works differently, enabling her to put together pieces of puzzles that other people may miss.
New season one episodes will air on Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT.
