High Potential Season 2 Episode 8 Is Almost Here: Release Date, Exact Time, and Where to Watch

Heads up for the High Potential crowd: the next chapter is locked in, and yes, it picks up the threads Episode 7 left dangling.

Previously, on Season 2

Episode 7, titled 'The One That Got Away,' had Morgan and Karadec teaming with a recovery expert to untangle a messy museum heist and the ownership fight over a very pricey stolen painting. Meanwhile, the mystery wasn't confined to the case files — Soto zeroed in on whatever secrets Roman has been lugging around in that backpack, and he wasn't about to let it go.

Release date, time, and where to watch

• Release date: January 6, 2026 (U.S.)
• Time: 10:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. PT
• How to watch live: ABC. The network sits under Disney Entertainment (part of The Walt Disney Company) and airs everything from scripted comedies and dramas to documentaries, game shows, reality, variety, soaps, and news. Bit of a grab bag, but that's ABC.
• Streaming the next day: Hulu. It's the Disney-owned streamer with a wide library of films and TV — plus a surprisingly deep anime shelf, both dubbed and subbed, if that's your lane.

What is High Potential?

The show centers on Morgan Gillory, a single mom with a mind built for solving puzzles and breaking cases, paired with Adam Karadec, a by-the-book veteran who doesn't exactly love rule-bending — at least not at first. She earns his respect as they work, and the odd-couple dynamic is the point.

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

Episode 8 should continue the fallout from the museum job and the backpack secrets — the kind of case-of-the-week stuff that also nudges their partnership forward. If you're watching live, it's ABC on the night; if you&aposre catching up later, Hulu has you the next day.
