‘High Potential’ Stars React to Midseason Move & Explain Why It’s Worth the Wait
ABC is holding its top-rated drama for midseason after it posted the biggest Season 1-to-2 increase for a network drama since Glee in 2010.
- On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, ABC announced its fall 2026 schedule, moving its top-rated drama High Potential to the midseason instead of fall.
- Scheduling executive Ari Goldman noted the shift aims to provide an "uninterrupted run" for High Potential in early 2027, avoiding the choppy broadcast breaks of previous seasons.
- The network will place R.J. Decker in the Tuesday 10 p.m. slot, while Scrubs and Abbott Elementary will lead Wednesday nights this fall.
- For the first time in six years, ABC will exclude the Bachelor franchise from fall, opting instead to premiere new seasons in 2027.
- Returning in early 2027, High Potential will join a first quarter packed with major events including the Super Bowl, College Football Playoff, Grammy Awards, and Oscars.
