## Season 3 is officially happening
ABC renewed High Potential for a third season back in March. The Kaitlin Olson crime drama wrapped its second season in April 2026.
## New showrunners taking over
Nora and Lilla Zuckerman from Poker Face will run Season 3. Todd Harthan is leaving to work on a live-action adaptation of The Inheritance Cycle.
## No fall episodes this year
High Potential is being held for midseason along with Will Trent and The Rookie. All three ABC shows won't return with new episodes until 2027.
## Expect a January 2027 premiere
Official dates haven't been announced yet, but the show will likely return in early January. High Potential and Will Trent will probably anchor Tuesday nights.
## Steve Howey won't be back
Howey is leaving as a series regular for Season 3. He may return as a guest star at the start of the season to wrap his character's arc.
## Stream past seasons now
All episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 are available on Hulu and Disney+. Hulu's basic plan with ads costs $11.99 per month.
## Key takeaway

High Potential Season 3 will premiere in early 2027, likely in January, with new showrunners and without Steve Howey as a series regular.
