It’s been a wild few weeks over at ABC. Many of our favorite shows recently aired their season finales (The Rookie, High Potential, R.J. Decker), while Will Trent, Grey’s Anatomy, and more prepare to say goodbye to their current seasons.
What will the network’s fall schedule look like? We’ll know more after the Disney Upfront event on May 12, but ABC recently announced renewals for two fan favorites — Bill Lawrence’s Scrubs revival and the Tim Allen/Kat Dennings sitcom Shifting Gears — while the futures of The Rookie spinoff, The Rookie: North, and R.J. Decker are yet to be determined.
Thankfully, we already know that High Potential will return for a third season. When exactly can we expect new episodes of ABC’s Kaitlin Olson-led charmer? Here’s everything we know.
Is High Potential on Tonight (May 5)?
Nope. The Season 2 finale of High Potential premiered Tuesday, April 7, on ABC.
The season finale of Will Trent airs from 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET, followed by a new installment of Betrayal: Secrets & Lies at 9:00 p.m. ET.
