ABC crime drama “High Potential” is set for a leadership change ahead of its third season. Multiple outlets report that Nora and Lilla Zuckerman will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers for Season 3. The sisters are known for running the first season of CBS’ “Poker Face,” which gained attention as a breakout. Their appointment comes after Todd Harthan’s departure from the series. Deadline and Variety both state that Harthan leaves the show at the end of Season 2, and that the Zuckermans take over in advance of the next installment.
The series stars Kaitlin Olson and follows the premise of a crime-focused procedural with a dramedy tone. With the Zuckermans assuming showrunning duties, the production is expected to transition to their creative direction for the program’s upcoming episodes. Details about new storylines or additional cast and crew changes were not included in the excerpts from the reports.
