‘High Potential’ First Look: Steve Howey Joins the Crew in New Season 2 Portraits
Exclusive
High Potential‘s long-awaited return to TV for Season 2 is approaching, and in anticipation of Morgan Gillory’s (Kaitlin Olson) ongoing mystery solving, TV Insider has an exclusive first look at the cast in all-new portraits — including series newcomer Steve Howey!
That’s right, Olson is back in action as the high-IQ single mom who found herself working as a consultant with the LAPD after they realized how valuable her ability to unravel mysteries is. While there isn’t much that can be discerned by these new portraits story-wise, they do tease a team dynamic shift for Morgan and the LAPD crew as Howey’s Nick Wagner, the new precinct captain, makes his mark.
Back alongside Olson are costars Daniel Sunjata, Judy Reyes, Javicia Leslie, Deniz Akdeniz, Amirah Johnson, and Matthew Lamb, with Howey rounding out the cast of series regulars. In addition to the cast portrait above and the individual images, we have a sneak peek at Season 2’s key art, which teases Morgan’s return to the scenes of crimes as “Do Not Cross” yellow tape reflects in her sunglasses lenses, and her nails are adorned with black and yellow stripes, indicating caution.
ABC
As viewers saw last season, Morgan got herself into some dicey situations as her desire to unravel crimes grew stronger with each passing case. This latest look is an exciting glimpse into the future of High Potential, which will hopefully address the role of David Giuntoli‘s mystery villain. Until then, a tease of Howey’s Nick Wagner is sure to satisfy.
Scroll down for a closer look at the individual character portraits for Season 2, including Howey’s, and stay tuned for more on High Potential as we gear up for Season 2’s premiere on ABC. And let us know what you hope to see from the show when it returns to TV this fall in the comments section below.

I can't wait until this show returns! Such a breath of fresh air! I loved the first season, and I'm sure the second will be fun to watch as well. I'm so tired of game shows. They used to only be on during the day! What has happened to night-time television?

Gillian is to TV what Mr. Monk was and hope that the one's bringing it to us still realizes how much monk still means to everybody. Gillian well mean just as much so you better keep her going. Katie Olson is amazing. Great actress great performer and one hell of a detective 💞

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! i think the cast is awesome!!! I love how she solves the crimes with her special kills! I've been hooked since day one! Can't wait for season 2 to begin!!!😊
Please don't do any crossovers within any other show especially 911!!!
Not interested in that at all!!!

I love this show! So glad that it got picked up for second season. There are far too many Housewives of some city! I’ve been drowning myself in HGTV home makeover shows but since i can’t afford to makeover mine it gets frustrating!
I really like the entire cast but Kaitlin Olson is the best! It amazes me how she can remember all of her lines. She goes on and on and doesn’t miss a beat! Very unique twist on a crime drama.

This old Englishman loved the first season , and can't wait for number two . Great acting , and it's easy on the eye to watch , not over the top complicated. And the main star WOW what a babe , love her acting also ....

Can't wait! But I hope they got rid of the background song that always plays when Morgon goes into her genial mode. It distracts me and annoys me because they even increase the volume on it rather than turn it down so we actually hear Morgan better.. #NDmind

I love this show. Hope it has a long run.

I love high potential and matlock so much that I’m watching the reruns

For season 2, I hope the main character's deductions become more plausible--like "Monk"-
The writing needs to address the principal's credibility. The Fans' intelligence must be respected.
On a positive side, the ensemble is super and theperformance is so real!
Looking forward to the premiere
