High Potential Follows Super Bowl LXI with Cliffhanger
13 Oct
Summary
- High Potential will air a special two-part episode after Super Bowl LXI.
- The first part will end on a cliffhanger, resolved two days later.
- The series stars Kaitlin Olson and is based on a French format.
ABC is set to air a special two-part episode of its popular series, High Potential, immediately following Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027. The broadcast will extend across ABC and Disney+. This strategic programming choice mirrors ABC's past success with lead-out shows after major sporting events.
The first part of the High Potential special will conclude on a cliffhanger, with the immediate resolution planned for Part 2 airing in the show's regular Tuesday time slot just two days later. The series, which stars Kaitlin Olson as a single mom with a knack for solving crimes, is produced by 20th Television and based on the French format.
High Potential concluded the 2025/2026 broadcast season as the No. 1 show for adults 18-49 and ranked third in total viewers. Its usual streaming home is Hulu, but the special episode will be available on Disney+ for the first time as part of the Super Bowl broadcast package. The series' upcoming third season is expected to launch earlier, likely in January 2027, and will not premiere immediately after the Super Bowl.
