High Potential fans, are you getting used to the cliffhangers?
For the second season in a row, the ABC hit has ended its season by leaving fans hanging, this time around with the fate of Steve Howey’s character hanging in the balance.
At the end of season two’s final episode, lead star Kaitlin Olson‘s character Morgan found Captain Nick Wagner gravely injured, and now, we’ve gotten an idea of what might happen.
Deadline has since confirmed that the season two finale marked the last episode as a series regular for Steve, who joined the show at the beginning of season two. HELLO! has reached out to ABC for comment.
Steve had only signed on under a one-year deal, however the fate of his character has not been fully confirmed just yet, as it is reported the door is still open for him to return as a guest star.
High Potential, which first premiered in September 2024, is in flux at the moment, as though it has been renewed for season three, it is still in search of a new showrunner after it was announced last month that its season one and two showrunner Todd Harthan is exiting the series.

When Steve first joined High Potential, his character was described as a savvy political animal who knows how to wear an expensive suit and oozes effortless charm, a character description read.
It added: “Besides a guy who can launch a million fundraisers with his smile, he has disruptor tenacity and likes thinking outside the box just like their all-star consultant Morgan. He has a way of putting himself right in the middle of the action… whether he’s wanted there or not.”

Moreover, in season two, “the future of Ransom Canyon hangs in the balance as ranching dynasties continue to vie for power, and new faces arrive, threatening the lives and loves of this quaint, western town,” per a release at the time.
