Rumors have been swirling online that Kaitlin Olson might exit High Potential ahead of Season 2, making fans both worried and skeptical. But is there any truth to the rumors? Let’s find out.
Is Kaitlin Olson leaving High Potential?
Not at all. The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star isn’t going anywhere. She’s set to return for Season 2 of High Potential, continuing her role as fan-favorite Morgan Gillory. Despite all the online chatter, there’s no truth to the rumors about her leaving.
Those rumors appear to have started on social media, where fans began speculating about possible casting shake-ups. Some posts even claimed Kaitlin Olson had announced her exit after the new season, but that was hearsay.
One fan commented that they hate getting into new shows because of sudden cast changes, while another quickly called the rumor fake news, saying you can’t trust everything you read on Facebook.
Though there have been some casting shake-ups, including the exit of J.D. Pardo, none of this suggests Olson would be doing the same.
High Potential is back for Season 2, officially renewed by ABC in January 2025. The new season premiered on September 16, with episodes airing on ABC and streaming the next day. The show draws from the French/Belgian hit HPI and follows Morgan, a single mom with a 160 IQ who goes from cleaner to crime-solving consultant.
Kaitlin Olson remains one of TV’s most beloved comedy stars. Fans still know her best as the chaotic and hilarious Deandra “Sweet Dee” Reynolds from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. She’s also headlined her own sitcom, The Mick, and appeared in fan-favorite series like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Hacks.
Beyond TV, Olson has some solid film credits, starring in Leap Year and The Heat. She has also lent her voice to Finding Dory and animated hits like Bob’s Burgers, Brickleberry, and American Dad.
