Who is the game-obsessed serial killer?

The season one finale introduced a chilling serial killer who has an unsettling obsession with children's games. This figure targeted Morgan and ominously promised to "play again," suggesting either a personal grudge or a twisted fascination.

Morgan even realized she'd crossed paths with this kidnapper in the past. High Potential season 2 needs to finally reveal who this killer is and what drives them to target both Morgan and the LAPD. Figuring out this recurring threat will be a key focus.


Why did Roman disappear?

One of the biggest cliffhangers from the season 1 finale was the shocking revelation that Roman, the father of Morgan's child, is alive and was secretly working as an FBI informant. Morgan spent the first season trying to uncover the truth about his disappearance 15 years ago.

Now that she knows he's alive, High Potential season 2 must dive into why he vanished and what he’s been up to all these years. Showrunner Todd Harthan has hinted that this season will peel back the layers of Roman's disappearance, but the answers might not come easily.

Will Morgan and Karadec’s relationship turn romantic?

The chemistry between Morgan and Detective Karadec has piqued interest throughout season 1. While their relationship has mostly stayed professional, there have been subtle hints of something more brewing.

High Potential season 2 should explore whether their connection will blossom into romance. It’s been pointed out that the show is looking into Karadec's feelings for Morgan, but they’re not rushing into anything just yet.

How will Roman’s return affect Morgan’s life?

Roman’s return could drastically change Morgan's world. After believing he was dead for so long, she now has to come to terms with the fact that he’s alive and living a hidden life as an FBI informant.

High Potential season 2 will need to tackle how this revelation impacts her emotionally, her relationships with her children, and her position at the LAPD.


What cases will Morgan solve next?

While the ongoing mysteries surrounding the serial killer and Roman's reappearance will take center stage in season 2, High Potential is still fundamentally a crime procedural.

Each episode typically features Morgan using her unique talents to solve a fresh case. High Potential season 2 should continue this trend, showcasing Morgan's detective skills while also pushing forward the larger storylines.

In conclusion, High Potential season 2 has some critical questions to address. As fans eagerly await the season premiere, the promise of resolving cliffhangers and deepening the mysteries ensures that High Potential will remain a captivating and engaging crime drama.
