  "account": "The ABC drama High Potential has been confirmed to air a special episode following Super Bowl 2027, according to TVLine. The promo for this episode, featuring star Kaitlyn Olson as Morgan Gillory, aired during Monday Night Football on October 12. In the promo, Olson's character discovers a hidden message suggesting the show will get the coveted slot after the big game.\n\nThe post-Super Bowl 2027 slot is highly sought after, with an estimated 100 million viewers tuning in to the game each year. This creates a significant lead-in audience for any show that airs afterward. ABC has historically used this slot to premiere new shows or significant episodes of existing hits, such as CBS's Tracker in 2024, NBC's The One After the Super Bowl in 1996, and NBC's painful episode of This Is Us chronicling Jack's death in 2018.\n\nHigh Potential has been a ratings powerhouse since its debut, making it an ideal choice for this prestigious slot. Season 3 of the show has not yet been announced, but the promo reveals that the premiere date for Season 3 will air on February 14, 2027. The cast includes Kaitlyn Olson, Daniel Sunjata, Javicia Leslie, Deniz Akdeniz, Amirah J, Matthew Lamb, and Judy Reyes.",
