ABC is betting big on its freshman drama High Potential, giving it the coveted post-Super Bowl slot in February 2026 and planning a special two-part episode that will bridge broadcast and streaming. The move echoes the network’s 2006 strategy, when a Super Bowl lead-out for Grey’s Anatomy drew 38.1 million viewers and cemented the medical drama’s status as a cultural juggernaut.
High Potential, starring Kaitlin Olson as a single mom with an exceptional mind who consults for the LAPD, has been a breakout hit for ABC this season, averaging over 10 million viewers in delayed viewing. The two-parter will see Part 1 air on ABC immediately after the game, while Part 2 will debut on Disney+ the following day, a first for the network as it leans into cross-platform storytelling to maximize audience reach.
