Ryan O'Rourke is a Senior News Writer at Collider with a specific interest in all things adult animation, video game adaptations, and the work of Mike Flanagan. He is also an experienced baseball writer with over six years of articles between multiple outlets, most notably FanSided's CubbiesCrib. Whether it's taking in a baseball game, a new season of Futurama or Castlevania: Nocturne, or playing the latest From Software title, he is always finding ways to show his fandom. When it comes to gaming and anything that takes inspiration from it, he is deeply opinionated on what's going on. Outside of entertainment, he's a graduate of Eureka College with a Bachelor's in Communication where he honed his craft as a writer. Between The IV Leader at Illinois Valley Community College and The Pegasus at Eureka, he spent the majority of his college career publishing articles on everything from politics to campus happenings and, of course, entertainment for the student body. Those principles he learned covering the 2020 election, Palestine, and so much more are brought here to Collider, where he has gleefully written on everything from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes to Nathan Lane baby-birding sewer boys.

While ABC may have held High Potential back for the midseason, it isn't going to keep fans of Kaitlin Olson's Morgan Gillory waiting much longer. The Disney-owned network announced its 2027 premiere dates today, including a much earlier-than-expected launch for Season 3 of the megahit procedural crime drama. As previously announced, the series will have a special post-Super Bowl episode airing on Valentine's Day, February 14, but it'll return even sooner on Tuesdays starting on January 5. That date will also mark the overall kick-off of the ABC midseason schedule, with Will Trent leading off the night in the 8 p.m. ET/PT time slot and Surviving a Scandal after High Potential at 10 p.m.
