As midseason approaches, viewers are in for a treat with a lineup filled with both returning favorites and exciting new premieres. CBS is set to bring back “High Potential” on January 7, following a gripping fall finale that left fans on edge. Star Daniel Sunjata hinted at what’s to come in the upcoming episodes, stating, “Some questions will be answered, and some fan theories will be explored. But like any great show, we’ll leave some mysteries for viewers to ponder.”
Looking ahead, ABC is expanding its offerings with the debut of the sitcom “Shifting Gears” on January 8. This show stars Tim Allen and Kat Dennings, following a car restoration shop owner who seeks to reconnect with his estranged daughter and grandchildren.
