High Potential season 1 ended its first installment with a twist that introduced the biggest threat to Morgan yet. It has added anticipation for the episodes, which are ramping up.

In a recent Facebook post from Disney+, which streams the popular procedural internationally, Olson is back on set. The photo shows the Hacks and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star holding a clapperboard, which reveals that Psych alum James Roday Rodriguez is returning to direct the premiere episode. He'd previously helmed the finale. The post, included below, also includes cast Daniel Sunjata, Javicia Leslie, Deniz Akdeniz, and Judy Reyes.

With filming underway, there's a good chance that casting reports and further story details will be unveiled in the coming weeks and months. Even though ABC might want to save major reveals until closer to the show's premiere, to better capitalize on the momentum, there is likely to be a better sense of what awaits Morgan and the rest of the gang. There may also be some insight on which High Potential guest stars will be reprising their roles.

This is good news for all of the unanswered High Potential season 1 questions, including the mystery of Roman and the unknown villain that's played by David Giuntoli. One thing to watch for is whether there will be any news on who might play Roman, Morgan's missing ex, or whether that potential casting will be kept hidden to maintain the surprise of what actually happened to the character.

A refreshing procedural that made a familiar premise feel breezy, the biggest question around High Potential season 2 may be whether it can maintain and even build on the largely positive reception that the first installment received.
