High Potential S3: Morgan's baby daddy mystery to be revealed

After a seven-month hiatus, "High Potential" is set to return for its third season on January 5, 2027. The new season will feature a change in leadership, with Nora and Lilla Zuckerman taking over as co-showrunners, following Todd Harthan's departure. Key cast members, including Daniel Sunjata as Detective Adam Karadec and Amirah J as Ava Gillory, are confirmed to return.

The highly anticipated Season 3 will address the lingering cliffhangers from the previous season. Notably, the mystery surrounding Roman, the potential father of Morgan's daughter Ava, is expected to be resolved. A significant plot point involves a special two-part episode airing after the Super Bowl in February 2027, a coveted timeslot for ABC.

Fans can also expect the return of familiar faces like Javicia Leslie and Deniz Akdeniz as partners Daphne Forrester and Lev "Oz" Özdil. While Steve Howey, who played Captain Wagner, will not be a series regular, his potential return in a limited capacity to conclude his character's storyline is not ruled out. The exact number of episodes for Season 3 has yet to be confirmed by ABC.
