High Potential is not coming to ABC this season after all. The network has pushed back the premiere of the new detective drama to Fall 2024, per THR.

Starring Kaitlin Olson, Daniel Sunjata, Javicia Leslie, Deniz Akdeniz, Amirah J, Matthew Lamb, and Judy Reyes, High Potential follows a single mom (Olson) who has an exceptional mind that allows her to solve crimes using unconventional methods. She partners with a by-the-book seasoned detective (Sunjata).

Inspired by the French series Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI), this new series was created by Drew Goddard.

ABC has decided to delay the series, the network’s only pickup from the pilot season in May, to next season due to the recent WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Though the writers strike has now ended, the delays caused by the dual strikes have necessitated the shuffling of the broadcast networks’ schedules.

A 2024 premiere date for High Potential will be announced later.

What do you think? Were you planning to watch this new ABC series? Will you check out High Potential once it arrives next fall?
