Who will star in High Potential Season 2?
There couldn’t be High Potential without Kaitlin Olson as Morgan Gillroy, a mom with a high IQ who’s been serving as a consultant with the LAPD. Also returning are Daniel Sunjata as Detective Karadec, Judy Reyes as Lieutenant Selena Soto, Javicia Leslie as Daphne, Deniz Akdeniz as Lev “Oz” Osman, and Amirah J and Matthew Lamb as Morgan’s kids, Ava and Elliot. Additionally, Taran Killiam is also likely to be back as Morgan’s ex, Ludo.
Meanwhile, Deadline has revealed Shameless actor Steve Howey will play a series regular role in Season 2. Howey will portray Jesse Wagner, the LAPD’s new precinct captain. Described as a politically savvy person, Jesse knows how to wear an expensive suit and oozes charm. He has a disruptor quality and thinks outside the box like Morgan, and he’ll put himself in the middle of the action, whether it’s wanted or not.
Who will make High Potential Season 2?
Season 1 of High Potential was created for television by Drew Goddard, who executive produces the series alongside Sarah Esberg. Olson also serves as a producer on the title. High Potential is based on the French series known as Haut Potentiel Intellectuel.
What will High Potential Season 2 be about?
Only time will tell which storylines will continue to unfold, but we anticipate Season 2 carrying on Morgan’s investigations with the LAPD as she teams up with Karadec and crew.
Stay tuned to see how it all unfolds, and let us know what you want to see in High Potential‘s second season when it arrives.
