High Potential Names Nora and Lilla Zuckerman Showrunners for Season 3

Poker Face veterans step in following Todd Harthan’s exit for a Disney+ Eragon project.

Overview

  • The ABC drama installed Nora and Lilla Zuckerman as executive producers and co-showrunners Wednesday following Todd Harthan’s departure at the end of Season 2.
  • Harthan left to develop a series based on the Eragon books for Disney+, as previously reported when the show secured its next-season pickup.
  • The Zuckerman sisters are under an overall deal at 20th Television, which produces the series, and they recently led Season 1 of Peacock’s Poker Face.
  • ABC renewed High Potential for a third season in March, and Nielsen data shows the Season 2 finale drew more than 12 million viewers in its first week.
  • Season 3 planning must address unresolved cliffhangers and casting shifts, with TVLine reporting Steve Howey will not return as a series regular and could appear briefly to close his arc.
