URGENT UPDATE: Fans of the popular ABC crime drama High Potential will have to wait until January 6, 2026, for new episodes as the show officially enters a hiatus. This follows a successful start to its second season, where it aired seven consecutive episodes.
Currently, tonight’s programming will feature a new episode of Dancing with the Stars from 8:00-10:01 p.m. ET, followed by a special edition of 20/20 celebrating The Golden Girls. Unfortunately, this means no new content from High Potential will be available this evening.
The hiatus for High Potential is part of a significant shift in ABC’s lineup. As some shows return, others are temporarily sidelined, creating a sense of loss among dedicated viewers. While the fan-favorite series is off-air until next year, the anticipation is building for its return.
When High Potential resumes, it will air its eighth episode of the season on January 6, 2026. Following this, viewers can expect the next episode to premiere on Wednesday, January 7, on Hulu and Disney+.
For those wanting to catch up, all currently available episodes of High Potential Season 2 are streaming now on ABC.com, Hulu, and Disney+.
As viewers navigate through a month of changes in streaming services, including the ongoing YouTube TV and Disney channel disputes affecting access to shows, the return of High Potential in 2026 will be a beacon of hope for those longing for compelling television.
Stay tuned for updates as we approach the new year, and mark your calendars for the eagerly awaited return of High Potential. Share this news with fellow fans to keep the excitement alive!
