Todd Harthan is exiting as showrunner of ABC’s ‘High Potential’ after the conclusion of its second season. The show has been renewed for a third season, but it will move forward with a new leader at the helm.

Harthan, who has been with ‘High Potential’ since its inception, took over as showrunner after Rob Thomas departed prior to the series debut. Under Harthan’s guidance, the show, which premiered in September 2024, has garnered attention for its unique premise—a police procedural centered around a high-potential intellectual named Morgan.

The cast of ‘High Potential’ includes notable actors such as Kaitlin Olson, Daniel Sunjata, and Javicia Leslie. Harthan also served as an executive producer for the series, contributing to its development and overall direction.

In a statement regarding his departure, it was noted that “High Potential will continue on for a third season at ABC, but with a change in leadership.” Harthan will now focus on developing the live-action adaptation of ‘Eragon’ for Disney+, where he will serve as co-showrunner.

Details surrounding the appointment of a new showrunner for ‘High Potential’ remain unconfirmed, with a replacement expected to be announced at a later date. The transition comes at a time when the series has established a solid viewership and critical reception.

The show is based on the French series ‘Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI)’, which has influenced its narrative style and character development. Harthan’s role in shaping the series has been significant, especially given the show’s unique approach to storytelling.

As ‘High Potential’ gears up for its third season, fans and industry observers are keen to see how the change in leadership will impact the show’s direction and character arcs. The anticipation surrounding the new showrunner’s vision adds an element of excitement to the upcoming season.

With Harthan’s departure marking the end of an era for ‘High Potential’, the focus now shifts to the future of the series and the potential for new creative directions under fresh leadership.
