High Potentialis officially renewed for season 2, but it’s actually bad news for Morgan and Karadec’s much-anticipated romance. Based on the French series, HPI, Drew Goddard’s latest project is a massive hit for ABC from the get-go. Despite that, it took the network a lot of time to guarantee its future with a renewal for a sophomore season. That said, when the Kaitlin Olson-led series returned from the holiday break and posted higher viewership ratings, ABC decided to end the suspense and officiallyrenewHigh Potentialfor season 2, which is a cause for celebration.
For context, the procedural’s debut year has been a mix of weekly cases and overarching storylines.High Potentialhas done a great job coming up with creative mysteries for Morgan and LAPD to tackle, all while also digging deeper into thedisappearance of Roman. The latter is gradually getting major developments, as the protagonists follow a new lead about the matter. Amid all these police procedural aspects of the show, another big element ofHigh Potential’s success is theexpected romance between Morgan and Karadec, but season 2 may not be a good thing for those waiting for it.

Admittedly,High Potentialhasn’t really leaned in on Morgan and Karadec’s chemistry. That said, between what happened in HPI and the pair’s potential for being a couple, it’s safe to say that it is in the pipeline for the ABC show.

Ultimately,High Potentialdoing a slow-burn romance for Morgan and Karadec isn’t exactly a bad thing. Granted that the waiting could be frustrating, considering the pair’s current situation as both are available, leaning on this will-they/won’t-they dynamic can be good forHigh Potential’s storytelling. Shows likeCheers,Friends,Frasier, and evenLaw & Order: SVUhave all benefited from the romantic trope.
