\n\tABC<\/a>\u2018s last time carrying the Super Bowl<\/a> in February 2006 was a memorable one, with then-hot sophomore drama Grey\u2019s Anatomy delivering one of the most talked about lead-out programs in the history of the Big Game, Part 1 of a bomb-themed two-episode arc that drew 38.1 million viewers. <\/p>\n

\n\tTwenty years later, ABC is picking up where it left off, slotting its flagship series that is also early in its run, High Potential<\/a>, immediately following Super Bowl LXI on ABC and Disney+<\/a> on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027. Like Grey\u2019s Anatomy, I hear High Potential is planning a two-parter, with the special post-Super Bowl episode as Part 1, ending on a cliffhanger that will be resolved in Part 2 airing in the show\u2019s regular time slot the following Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe upcoming Season 3 of High Potential will not launch after the Super Bowl; the series starring Kaitlin Olson<\/a> is expected to return earlier, likely in January. (For the first time in its run, High Potential is not on the fall schedule this season.)<\/p>\n

\n\tOlson \u2014 as her character Morgan in front of High Potential\u2018s signature murger board \u2014 announced the news of the special post-Super Bowl episode Monday night in a promo that ran on-air and online during Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n

\n\tSuper Bowl LXI will air on ABC, ESPN and Disney+, which explains why High Potential will stream on Disney+ for the first time outside of the bundle. Its streaming home is on fellow Disney platform Hulu, both for next day episodes and previous seasons. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2000, ABC also aired Part 1 of a two-part episode of a popular drama series, The Practice, after the Super Bowl. <\/p>\n

\n\tHigh Potential finished the 2025\/2026 broadcast season as the No. 1 show in adults 18-49 (3.35 rating) and the No. 3 show among total viewers (16.01 million) over 35 days of viewing on ABC, Hulu, Hulu on Disney+ and digital platforms.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series follows a single mom with an exceptional mind (Olson), whose unconventional knack for solving crimes leads to an unusual and unstoppable partnership with a by-the-book seasoned detective.<\/p>\n

\n\tHigh Potential stars Olson as Morgan, Daniel Sunjata as Karadec, Javicia Leslie as Daphne, Deniz Akdeniz as Lev \u201cOz\u201d Ozdil, Amirah J as Ava, Matthew Lamb as Elliot, and Judy Reyes as Selena. 20th Television produces the series, which is based on the French format Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI) and was created in the U.S. by Drew Goddard. <\/p>\n

\n\tGoddard and Sarah Esberg of Goddard Textiles, new showrunners Nora and Lilla Zuckerman and Olson serve as executive producers. Andrea Massaro (Goddard Textiles) is a co-executive producer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ABC\u2018s last time carrying the Super Bowl in February 2006 was a memorable one, with then-hot sophomore drama…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":880513,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1855,3716,88,5920,38400,1803],"class_list":["post-880512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-abc","tag-disney","tag-entertainment","tag-high-potential","tag-kaitlin-olson","tag-super-bowl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=880512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/880513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=880512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=880512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=880512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
