Fans of ABC’s hit series High Potential will have to wait longer than expected for new episodes. The network recently announced that the show, which has captured audiences with its gripping plot and stellar performances, will not return with fresh content until 2025. Here’s why the hiatus is happening and what it means for the beloved series.
Behind the Delay
According to industry insiders, the extended break is due to a combination of production challenges and scheduling conflicts. The ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes earlier this year caused significant delays in filming, pushing the production timeline far beyond what was initially planned.
“Bringing High Potential back to its full glory takes time,” a source close to the show revealed. “The creators want to ensure that the next chapter lives up to fans’ expectations, so they’re taking the necessary steps to get it right.”

Quality Over Speed
The creative team, led by showrunner Drew Goddard, is reportedly using the hiatus to refine scripts and elevate the storytelling. ABC has emphasized its commitment to delivering a season that not only meets but exceeds the high standards set by the first season.
“Rushing would compromise the quality,” the source added. “This is a show built on clever writing and layered characters, and they want to ensure the next season is as impactful as the first.”
Fan Reactions
The news has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. While some fans expressed disappointment over the wait, many appreciated the team’s dedication to quality.
“Heartbreaking, but I’d rather wait than get a rushed season,” one fan tweeted. Another wrote, “2025 feels so far away, but I know it’ll be worth it!”
What’s Next for High Potential?
Despite the delay, the buzz surrounding the show remains strong. Cast members have hinted at exciting developments for their characters, teasing fans with cryptic social media posts.
In the meantime, ABC plans to keep the momentum alive with reruns and behind-the-scenes content to tide fans over until the 2025 premiere.
Mark Your Calendars
Though the exact release date hasn’t been announced, insiders suggest High Potential will return in the first quarter of 2025. Until then, fans will just have to hold on, knowing that great things are worth waiting for.
