High Potential season 2 has already proven itself exhaustive, the eventual return of the LAPD Major Crimes Unit, including Detective Adam Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) and Lieutenant Selena Soto (Judy Reyes), will be well worth the wait.
While the talented ensemble is one of the key High Potential episode 13, as Karadec confirmed Roman is alive and within reach. Additionally, the twisted serial kidnapper (played by David Giuntoli) has his sights set on Morgan for more life-or-death riddles. With so many possible routes for the next batch of episodes to take, High Potential season 2 deserves time to properly explore each one.
High Potential Season 2 Will Have More Episodes, Kaitlin Olson Confirms
More Cases And More Room To Breathe
With High Potential season 2 already so highly anticipated, any new information feels monumental. While more concrete details are still vague, like the release date, Kaitlin Olson spoke to High Potential season 2’s episode count with a promising line. Although the exact number of episodes for the procedural’s sophomore run is yet to be revealed, Olson mentioned High Potential season 2 will include more episodes than its pilot showing. High Potential will probably confirm a concrete number closer to the release of season 2, but for now, the revelation is still incredibly significant.
I'm Concerned About Karadec After Learning About 1 Dark High Potential Theory About Roman
High Potential's Roman mystery has inspired many theories, but one new entry could have unexpected consequences for Morgan's partner, Adam Karadec.
Compared to the 13 episodes in High Potential season 1, it’s likely that season 2 will run anywhere from 14-16. While a few more episodes may not seem drastically different on paper, even an extra hour could be the difference between a storyline finding closure or cutting off on a cliffhanger. Regardless of what arcs ABC focuses on and which are sidelined, the narrative of High Potential season 2 will undoubtedly benefit from more episodes. High Potential season 1 never felt noticeably constrained, but the convoluted plots that have been laid out could use more time to simmer.
How High Potential Season 2 Can Benefit From More Episodes
The Procedural Will Have Space To Experiment
Whether there’s a single extra episode 2 or enough for a three-part event, High Potential season 2 will be able to fully flesh-out its characters, narrative, and overall world-building. The pilot season included unique moments that helped form High Potential’s identity, like the bottle episode hostage situation in “One of Us” (High Potential season 1, episode 7). Now that High Potential season 2 is guaranteed to have a slightly longer run, the procedural can test different forms, structures, and vehicles for its plot and characterization.

High Potential season 2 could tap into the lost art of the "filler episodes" and help make Major Crimes feel more like a found family, similar to the fictional LAFD in ABC’s hit procedural, 9-1-1. Of course, the cases in High Potential will similarly have the opportunity to become more elaborate, leaving the door open for two-part events or the introduction of fully-characterized criminals who evade capture and inevitably return. Giuntoli’s character offers a built-in antagonist to start with, but there’s nothing stopping High Potential season 2 from using its additional episodes to make a more comprehensive world of crime-solving.
