High Potential Will Tackle ‘Unanswered Questions' in Supersized Season 2 — Watch Cast Interview
ABC has big plans for the second season of High Potential. For starters, the crime drama will produce 18 episodes (up from 13 in Season 1), allowing the show to widen its scope and give the ensemble cast more chances to shine.
'With 18 episodes, we'll get a little more breathing room to just enjoy our time,' cast member Javicia Leslie (Daphne) recently told TVLine on the carpet at the Disney Upfront, adding that she's especially excited for the show's two-episode premiere. Though a return date has not been set, High Potential will air Tuesdays at 10/9c this fall.

So, what's on tap for Season 2? Besides figuring out who the heck David Giuntoli is playing, the procedural's stars have a few ideas of their own.
'Firstly, [I want] to get the person who put me in the pool,' Deniz Akdeniz (Oz) told us, referring back to his character's kidnapping in the Season 1 finale. 'I want to make sure we get them and put them in cuffs! … There are a lot of unanswered questions … that we'll hopefully get to answer.'
Some of those unanswered questions involve the characters' goings-on outside of work. While viewers did get to spend time at Morgan's (Kaitlin Olson) house and Karadec's (Daniel Sunjata) apartment, their co-workers' home lives remain a total blank.
'I want to explore who she's really like as a person outside of the precinct, who she's like as a friend,' Judy Reyes said of her character, Lieutenant Selena Soto. 'Is she a parent? What's her emotional history? And how does that bring her and [Morgan] closer together?'
Which of Morgan's co-workers do you want to see more of when High Potential returns this fall? And what other hopes for Season 2 are you harboring? Hit PLAY on the videos above to watch our interviews with the cast, then drop a comment with your thoughts below.
