Though it’s technically solely been like seven months since Excessive Potential’s first season got here to a cliffhanger crammed shut, it feels prefer it’s been forEVer. I didn’t notice that it was doable to really feel withdrawal signs from a fictional character, however such because it goes with Kaitlin Olson’s brilliant-if-messy mom-tective Morgan, and I can’t await Season 2 to hit the 2025 TV schedule, particularly after a few of the showrunner’s newest teases.
Following worries that co-star Taran Killam could also be out after he landed a sequence common function in an upcoming NBC comedy, Excessive Potential’s boss addressed each that character’s presence and the approaching arrival of Mekhi Phifer’s new character.
How A lot Will Ludo Seem Now That Taran Killam Has One other Present?
Fortunately for everybody who enjoys the SNL vet’s presence on the present as a optimistic instance of exes’ largely drama-free coparenting scenario, showrunner Todd Harthan confirmed to TVLine that not solely can we are able to nonetheless count on to see Ludo popping up within the present, nevertheless it does not sound like viewers shall be closely conscious of any adjustments behind the scenes. Harthan described how typically we’ll see him with:
In an identical capability [to Season 1].
That tracks with one of many earliest Season 2 particulars that was addressed, with Todd Harthan saying again in March that he was excited about exploring Ludo and Morgan’s historical past collectively, and what led to them being pleasant sufficient to make their coparenting scenario a very good one. Hopefully they had been capable of get to that story level early on, assuming Killam shall be extra absent from the again half of the season.
May Mekhi Phifer Truly Be Enjoying Morgan’s MIssing Husband Roman?
One of many latest solid members to influence Morgan’s life shall be Mekhi Phifier, with the precise particulars behind his function nonetheless being stored below wraps. In a present like this, the place one of many ongoing plotlines includes a long-missing husband, clearly Phifer instantly entered fan theories about his potential reveal as Roman, Morgan’s hubby who fathered her oldest little one, Ava.
As a lot as I would like to consider that would be the reveal, I do not suppose the present shall be answering that thriller so quickly into Season 2. And but, this is how he responded when requested:
It’s 100% a risk.
Certain, within the scheme of issues, he did not say something there that followers weren’t already considering. However the truth that Harthan did not outright deny that risk straightaway is stunning and attention-grabbing. Although perhaps that is simply the showrunner’s method of conserving followers locked in on Phifer-as-Roman in order that we’re not placing our minds to theorizing who else he is perhaps enjoying. It is all reverse-psychology! Or it is not!
The showrunner did share that one upcoming episode includes a large second for Olson’s Morgan and somebody who cannot be talked about simply but. He described it as such:
[There’s a] beautiful shock in our midseason finale.
Would he use the phrase “beautiful” to explain Roman’s return? I do not suppose so. That will seemingly require one thing with a extra thrilling wording.
We’ll be ready just a few months earlier than that episode comes round, although, which is each a very good and a foul factor. However fortunately, ready on Season 2 is nearly over, because it’ll debut on ABC on Tuesday, September 16, at 10:00 p.m. ET, with eps obtainable to stream the subsequent day by way of Hulu subscription.
