"High Potential" Finishes Season 2 on a Ratings High Note

Prepare to uncork that champagne! ABC's hit series "High Potential" has wound up its second season on a sizzling note, according to figures from those fine folks over at Nielsen. The show, which features the irrepressible Kaitlin Olson, reeled in a whopping 12.69 million total viewers for its Season 2 finale on April 7. While that's a whisker shy of the Season 1 finale's 12.79 million viewership, it's still a leap from the near 12 million viewers who tuned in for the Season 2 premiere. It's a bit like setting a high jump record then just barely grazing the bar on your next leap-still immensely impressive!

For anyone counting, the Season 2 finale delivered a "High Potential" peak, with the show's best figures since February. The multiplatform number cleared the benches with a vault of 137% over the show's live+same day average of 5.36 million viewers. Along with the viewing numbers, the finale also scooped up a 2.04 audience rating with adults 18-49-an eye-opening surge of 716% from the initial live+same day rating.

And it only gets more exciting when we turn our gaze to "High Potential's" linear viewership. The season finale surged to 8.71 million total viewers and a 0.61 rating with adults 18-49, making it another six-week high. ABC couldn't help but grin and declare that their show is neck and neck with CBS' newcomer "Marshals" as the top broadcast show in the adults 18-49 demographic.

Starring the versatile Kaitlin Olson as Morgan-a crime-solving single mom-the show also showcases the talent of Daniel Sunjata as her detective partner. The ensemble cast includes Javicia Leslie, Deniz Akdeniz, Amirah J, Matthew Lamb, Steve Howey, and Judy Reyes. The series is the brainchild of U.S. creator Drew Goddard, and was inspired by the French series "Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI).”

With all these achievements under its belt, it's clear that ""High Potential"" isn't just limbering up-it's proving its championship status to the delight of viewers nationwide. Here's looking ahead with anticipation to Season 3!
