‘High Potential' Stars Take Fans Behind the Scenes of Season 2 in New Video
High Potential Season 2 is taking shape at ABC as the network gears up for the return of Kaitlin Olson's Morgan and crew, who are tackling new mysteries this fall. In anticipation of the show's arrival, ABC has unveiled a few sneak peeks, the premiere date, and announced some exciting casting for fans to look forward to. As mentioned above, the hit drama is welcoming plenty of new faces to the mix, and several other details have already emerged surrounding the show, including possible directions the story might take. Along with setting the show's fall timeslot, new casting, and more, we're breaking down everything you need to know about what's to come. When is High Potential Season 2 going to premiere? ABC previously teased that High Potential's second season would arrive in the fall of 2025, airing in the 10/9c timeslot on Tuesdays following the network's other hit, Dancing With the Stars, which will air in the 8/7c slot. In the latest update from ABC, High Potential Season 2 will officially return on Tuesday, September 16. Does High Potential Season 2 have a trailer? No, there is no Season 2 trailer for High Potential yet, but stay tuned for first looks as we approach the fall TV season. In the meantime, ABC has shared a fun behind-the-scenes video featuring Olson and costars at the police station. Check it out below: Who will star in High Potential Season 2? There couldn't be High Potential without Kaitlin Olson as Morgan Gillroy, a mom with a high IQ who's been serving as a consultant with the LAPD. Also returning are Daniel Sunjata as Detective Karadec, Judy Reyes as Lieutenant Selena Soto, Javicia Leslie as Daphne, Deniz Akdeniz as Lev 'Oz' Osman, and Amirah J and Matthew Lamb as Morgan's kids, Ava and Elliot. Additionally, Taran Killiam is also likely to be back as Morgan's ex, Ludo. Meanwhile, Deadline has revealed Shameless actor Steve Howey will play a series regular role in Season 2. Howey will portray Jesse Wagner, the LAPD's new precinct captain. Described as a politically savvy person, Jesse knows how to wear an expensive suit and oozes charm. He has a disruptor quality and thinks outside the box like Morgan, and he'll put himself in the middle of the action, whether it's wanted or not. The latest addition to the series is Mekhi Phifer, who will join the show in a recurring guest star capacity, although details surrounding his role remain under wraps, according to Variety, which revealed his casting. Who will make High Potential Season 2? Season 1 of High Potential was created for television by Drew Goddard, who executive produces the series alongside Sarah Esberg. Olson also serves as a producer on the title. High Potential is based on the French series known as Haut Potentiel Intellectuel. What will High Potential Season 2 be about? Only time will tell which storylines will continue to unfold, but we anticipate Season 2 carrying on Morgan's investigations with the LAPD as she teams up with Karadec and crew. Stay tuned to see how it all unfolds, and let us know what you want to see in High Potential's second season when it arrives.

Actor son of murder-suicide victim issues stepdad funeral plea
An actor whose mother was the victim of a murder-suicide in France has urged her friends not to attend his stepdad's funeral. Callum Kerr, who appeared in Hollyoaks and Netflix's Virgin River, said it would be "inappropriate" for the memory of his mother, Dawn Searle, to be associated with her husband Andrew Searle. The couple's bodies were discovered by a neighbour at their country home in the Aveyron region on 6 February. The prosecutor in charge of the case previously told the BBC it was murder followed by suicide and there was no evidence that another person was involved. The statement, issued on Kerr's Instagram account on behalf of the actor and his sister Amanda, comes more than six months after the couple were found dead. It is unclear why it has taken so long for Mr Searle's body to be released by the French authorities or when his funeral is scheduled to take place. Deaths of British couple in France treated as murder-suicide Actor's grief after mum and husband die in France French prosecutors confirm how British couple died Mr Kerr, who is also a country singer in the US, and his sister said that while the investigation into the deaths was ongoing they "cannot ignore the circumstances as they stand". The statement continued: "For this reason, we must respectfully but firmly request that our mother not be included in any way in the funeral arrangements being made for Andrew." They urged friends of their mother's not to attend the ceremony and asked people not to share photographs of Mr and Mrs Searle together. The statement concluded: "It would be inappropriate for her memory to be associated with a service honouring the man who, based on all available evidence, may have been responsible for her death. "We ask for understanding, privacy and respect as we continue to grieve and seek justice for our mum." Mrs Searle's body was found in the garden of the couple's property in the hamlet of Les Pesquiès, with severe wounds to her head. Mr Searle's body was found inside their home, about an hour north of Toulouse. Police were alerted to the incident by a neighbour who had gone to check on them when they failed to turn up for a planned dog walk. Post-mortem examinations confirmed Mrs Searle suffered "multiple blows to the head with a blunt and sharp-edged object" while Mr Searle died from hanging. Mrs Searle, 56, grew up in Eyemouth in the Scottish Borders, and Mr Searle, 62, was originally from England. They previously lived in Musselburgh, near Edinburgh, and married in France in 2023. Prosecutors said they had lived in the Aveyron region for five years. According to his LinkedIn page, Mr Searle previously worked in financial crime prevention at companies including Standard Life and Barclays Bank.
