High Potential lands ABC’s post-Super Bowl showcase in February 2027
ABC confirms the February 14 special; the third season is due earlier in 2027, with an exact premiere date still unannounced.
By NewsCubby Editorial Desk · Published
ABC has chosen High Potential for the episode immediately after Super Bowl LXI on Sunday, February 14, 2027. The network announced the placement on October 12, saying the special episode will appear on ABC and Disney+.
The announcement gives viewers a date for the special, rather than an exact start time after the game. Kaitlin Olson stars as Morgan, a mother whose unusual problem-solving ability brings her into a partnership with a detective.
A special episode, with the season returning earlier
ABC says the drama’s third season returns in early 2027, with regular new episodes on Tuesdays and next-day streaming on Hulu. The network’s announcement does not provide an exact season-premiere date.
Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva separately reports that the show is planning a two-part story: the Super Bowl episode would open the arc, followed by its conclusion in the regular Tuesday slot. That planned structure comes from Deadline’s reporting; ABC’s announcement confirms the special’s date and platforms.
For fans planning ahead, the useful distinction is between the February 14 showcase and the regular season return. Watch ABC’s updated schedule for the premiere date and timing as the event approaches.
