High Potential Season 2 Episode 8 Release Date
Episode 8 of High Potential Season 2 drops Tuesday, January 6, 2026, at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT after a long break that started October 28. The time slot returns to 10 p.m. ET; the schedule changed, not ideal, thanks to ABC’s midseason shuffle (The Rookie now airs at 9).
For episode specifics, Episode 8 (“The One That Got Away” Part 2), ABC’s promo teases Morgan and her team following up on the Rembrandt heist storyline, promising a major guest star without spoilery details. Odd thing: ABC hasn't locked down the full schedule for all 11 remaining episodes, just Episode 8. Then move on.
How Many Episodes in High Potential Season 2?
Season 2 is expected to have 18 episodes, an upswing from Season 1’s 13-episode run. ABC dramas typically range from 16 to 22 episodes, so Season 2 of High Potential lands right in the expected bracket, though it does stretch more than last year’s truncated batch, mainly a production decision after Olson’s scheduling conflicts cleared up. The first half aired seven episodes, the fall finale on October 28, 2025; the back half, eleven more episodes, starts in 2026.
