Crime drama series High Potential has finally returned for its second season \u2013 and we have the lowdown on its episode release schedule.<\/p>\n

The show focuses on a cleaning lady called Morgan Gillory (Kaitlin Olson) who becomes a consultant for the Los Angeles Police Department’s Major Crimes division thanks to her intellectual gifts.<\/p>\n

The series, which is based on France and Belgium’s Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI), debuted its first season last year to high acclaim, sitting at an impressive 96% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Independent Online (South Africa)<\/a> suggested that if “you are a fan of whodunits, this one ticks the box – and then some”, while the Daily Mail<\/a> said the series “has the studio-bound look of a classic U.S. sitcom and the pacing to match”.<\/p>\n

“What we have here is gorgeous, brilliant trash TV, done so well that it should be showered with special awards,” wrote The Guardian<\/a>, Variety<\/a> adding: “With Olson leading the charge and skillful actors backing her up, the series is perfectly adequate formulaic television.”<\/p>\n

Speaking about the second season, Olson previously teased to Deadline<\/a>: “I want to have really fun, dramatic stuff, and I want to have really funny moments and explore relationships.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s important to dive deeper into the other characters on the show. We didn\u2019t have the opportunity to do that as much as I think we should, and so we\u2019re going to definitely be digging in there, too.”<\/p>\n

The second season’s first episode has become available as of today, with UK viewers able to watch the premiere on Disney+.<\/p>\n

Fans will be able to catch subsequent episodes over the next few weeks, but which dates will they become available on?<\/p>\n
