EXCLUSIVE: The cameras will soon start rolling on the highest-profile French series to be remade in the U.S., ABC’s High Potential, with the show’s seller believing this latest remake will catapult it to “global brand” status.
High Potential was recently taken from pilot to series in the U.S., becoming one a number of global remakes of France’s TF1/Belgium’s La Une original High Intellectual Potential (HPI). The show is one of a very small number from France to have made their way across the Atlantic, joining the likes of A&E’s version of The Returned and Apple TV+’s Calls US.
Disney Television Studios’ ABC Signature announced it was remaking HPI last year and it wasn’t long before Deadline revealed that ABC was showing interest. Daredevil and Cloverfield helmer Drew Goddard subsequently boarded as EP, Rob Thomas is showrunner and Kaitlin Olson (It’s Always Sunny) is leading opposite the likes of Javicia Leslie, Deniz Akdeniz and Judy Reyes.
The series follows Morgan (Olson), a single mum with three kids and an exceptional mind, who helps solve an unsolvable crime when she rearranges some evidence during her shift as a cleaner for the police department. In France, it has been a huge hit, with distributor Newen Connect claiming Season 1 is the third most-watched show in French TV history. A fourth season is now in the offing.
“We are building a global brand,” says Newen Connect CEO Rodolphe Buet, who has helped oversee more than 100 territory deals for the show – most of them finished tape. “Some shows don’t travel so well but HPI feels like it is in the territory of House or Sherlock. I am convinced that the U.S. version will help with this.”
Buet reveals several U.S. studios were interested in the remake.

But some of what’s on the table isn’t so complicated.

SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher has vowed publicly that securing a hefty increase in minimum pay rates across the board is a deal-breaker issue for the union. Talk to any established working actor and it becomes clear why. Most of them say they’ve been dragged back to working for scale in a marketplace that has paid high-wattage stars record fees but put the squeeze on everyone else down the call sheet.
