ABC show High Potential Season 2 casts Mekhi Phifer

The High Potential Season 2 cast is shaping up brilliantly as the show is being prepared for a fall premiere. The logline for the series reads:

"A single mom with an exceptional mind, whose unconventional knack for solving crimes leads to an unusual partnership with a by-the-book detective."

Mekhi Phifer, who was previously seen on projects such as ER (in over 150 episodes), Lie to Me, 8 Mile (opposite Eminem), I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and A Day Late and A Dollar Short, among others, has been cast as a guest on High Potential.

Details regarding the exact role that he's set to play are being kept hidden at this point in time, but we do know that his character has a lot of involvement in major crimes, so he will definitely be opposite Kaitlyn Olson.

Apart from Phifer, we also know that Kaitlin Olson is reviving her role as the lead, and she will be joined by Javicia Leslie as Daphne, Daniel Sunjata as Detective Karadec, Amirah J and Matthew Lamb as Morgan's kids, Deniz Akdeniz as Lev "Oz" Osman, Steve Howey, and Judy Reyes. According to reports, Taran Killam might also join the High Potential cast as Ludo, Morgan's ex.

High Potential Season 1 was created and produced by Drew Goddard, and he was joined by Sarah Esberg. The show wrapped up the first season with a major cliffhanger, making it extremely great that the show has been renewed for another season, which is set to premiere this fall. The final episode features a lot of twists and turns, but it is also the episode where Morgan finally gets some answers regarding her ex-boyfriend, Roman Sinquerra's disappearance.

The Season 1 finale forced the LAPD to investigate a case and a serial killer unlike any other, where the killer lured the police into his hideout and trapped them. He further forces these people to solve deadly riddles in order to save the lives of the victims. Morgan has an eerie realization about the man she met in the parking lot, and that the serial killer now has his eyes set on her.

High Potential Season 2 has a lot of open questions that need to be answered, but after the cliffhanger with the knowledge that Morgan finds out about her ex, fans are more than excited to witness the new season.
