ABC is set to air a “High Potential” special in its post–Super Bowl slot on Sunday, February 14, 2027. Multiple outlets report the episode will run immediately after Super Bowl LXI, with distribution also through Disney+.
Deadline adds context by recalling ABC’s previous Super Bowl lead-out strategy, noting that in February 2006 the network aired “Grey’s Anatomy” in a bomb-themed two-episode arc that drew a large audience and became a landmark post–Super Bowl moment. Variety and other outlets frame ABC’s decision as a way to leverage the “Super Bowl halo” to promote “High Potential,” which is described as already among ABC’s most-watched series. TVLine highlights the announcement through a promo showing Kaitlin Olson’s character, Morgan, reacting in the lead-up to the airing.
