‘High Potential’ Star Kaitlin Olson Teases Larger Season 2 As EPs Talk “Gift & Privilege” Of Filming Hit ABC Series In LA – Contenders TV

'High Potential' star Kaitlin Olson teases a larger Season 2 as EPs talk the "gift and privilege" of filming in L.A. at Deadline's Contenders TV.

“I called Todd and I said, ‘I’m so grateful right now that we get to be putting people back to work’,” he said, referring to the fact that High Potential is a rare hourlong series filming in Los Angeles amid an industry-wide effort to keep production from leaving the city. Olson added her own distinctive quirks and unique nuances to her role as Morgan Gillory, the intellectually gifted but stability-cursed single mom who puts her heightened brainpower to work as a police consultant, but she believes there are many similarly brilliant-but-challenged people operating in the real world. “I just fell in love with this character,” Olson said of venturing from her signature comedic turns on series like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Hack s into a more dramatic, procedural vein, albeit with Morgan’s amusing foibles.
