Kaitlin Olson is about to step back into the spotlight with Season 2 of High Potential , ABC’s crime procedural that’s already proven itself as one of the network’s buzziest new hits. The series, which follows Olson as Morgan Gillory — a single mom with an off-the-charts IQ who stumbles into police consulting — returns this month after a strong debut that cracked Disney+’s global Top 10 .
But before audiences watch Olson solve more cases, it’s worth rewinding to her turn as DJ Vance in Hacks . Though her screen time was limited, Olson’s performance as Deborah Vance’s ( Jean Smart ) daughter showed a layered vulnerability that stands as one of her career’s best — and it’s the perfect warm-up for what she’s now delivering as a lead.
