It’s pretty obvious why High Potential was renewed for a third season, especially if the season 2 finale is any indication of the drama’s draw and popularity. 

It seems as though ending the drama on a huge cliffhanger (spoiler—fans have to wait till season 3 to see if Nick Wagner (Steve Howey) survives the ambush by whoever is trying to silence him and Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) from pursuing the Roman Sinquerra trail) paid off, as the ratings hit a high note. 

Per Variety, the series wrapped up its run on April 7 with 12.69 million total viewers, per Nielsen live+7 multiplatform numbers.

While that’s slightly down from its freshman run finale, which hit 12.79 million viewers in February 2025, it’s way up from the season 2 premiere with 11.99 million viewers. 

And it’s proof that the show has staying power, continuing to draw in eyeballs who remain invested in the series. 

The outlet noted that the numbers were the best since February, “up 137% vs. the show’s live+same day average of 5.36 million viewers,” adding, “That multiplatform number is up 137% vs. the show’s live+same day average of 5.36 million viewers.”

The multiplatform ratings have the series tied with the success of CBS’s newest hit, Marshals.

This is great news for Olson and the cast, who celebrated the achievement on Instagram Story, thanking the fans for their loyalty.

The season finale packed in plenty of developments. In addition to Wagner’s potential demise (either way, he is leaving the series as a series regular, so if he survives, he’ll only return in a guest star capacity), Detective Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) experienced the ultimate heartache and betrayal with Lucia’s involvement in a murder. It was a twist of events that brought Karadec and Morgan even closer together. 

High Potential is living up to its name and proving there’s plenty of store left to tell when it comes to this single mom and her special set of skills.

Re-live the glory of the season 2 finale—and the steamy kiss between Wagner and Morgan in the penultimate episode as you patiently wait for season 3 to return, hopefully in the early fall.

CBS has unveiled its 2026–2027 fall primetime lineup, going big with a slate built around returning ratings leaders, major franchise expansions, and several high-profile new series.

The network, which says it is on track to deliver the season’s top three primetime series with  Tracker, Marshals, and 60 Minutes,along with multiple top new shows and returning favorites, is leaning heavily into franchise power, sports, and event programming.

CBS also highlighted its continued dominance across comedy and drama, including the top two comedies, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage and Ghosts, plus 13 of the top 20 most-watched series on television.

The lineup expands major franchises, including NCIS, FBI, and Fire Country, while introducing new series such as NCIS: New York, Cupertino, and Eternally Yours.

“CBS broadcasts the most-watched entertainment shows in the country and continues to launch more every season,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “We’ll build on that this fall by expanding the powerful NCIS franchise, introducing a new original drama from the creators of THE GOOD WIFE and ELSBETH and a new comedy from the acclaimed duo behind GHOSTS. This all adds up to another schedule built for launching new hits, scaling audiences and growing content value.”

Einstein, Matlock, Ghosts, (which will have its one-hour Halloween and Ghostmas special episodes airing this fall) and NCIS: Sydney are saved for the midseason schedule!
