In the conclusion of season 1, a fresh adversary emerged, set on threatening Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) and those dear to her in the upcoming season. The final episode saw Morgan deciphering riddles and puzzles reminiscent of children’s games to rescue people who had been kidnapped, including one of her coworkers. Despite successfully saving the day, it was only at the end that the antagonist made an appearance, unbeknownst to Morgan initially.
In the parking lot of a grocery store, a man going by “David” (David Giuntoli) encounters Morgan and her kids. At first glance, he appears to be an accidental acquaintance, a friendly stranger offering greetings, but there’s an undercurrent of familiarity. He left a children’s card game in the cart with a message for Morgan, confirming his identity as the same individual whose manipulative games she has been dealing with. This scene underscores the fact that he can reach anyone connected to her. As we venture into season 2 of High Potential, I have concerns about one character more than others.
Taran Killam’s NBC Comedy Pilot Casting Suggests Bad Things For Ludo In High Potential Season 2
Killam Would Have A Starring Role In The Comedy
In the movie “High Potential,” Taran Killam takes on the role of Ludo, a character who was once Morgan’s partner and is also the father of her youngest kids. However, he also refers to himself as her ‘manny.’ Recently, Killam has been cast in a comedy pilot for NBC. Alongside Jenn Lyon, Georgie Murphy, and Jarrett Austin Brown, Killam will star in “Stumble,” a comedic series that offers a mockumentary perspective on the world of junior college cheerleading. If the pilot is chosen for a full series run, it could potentially conflict with other television roles for Killam. (Source: Deadline)
An actor can certainly take on both leading and supporting roles in different shows, but it creates challenges, particularly if these shows are filmed simultaneously and are for different networks. If Killam’s new comedy continues, it might cause issues for Ludo, as both shows may not align with Killam’s schedule. In the world of Hollywood, the series where the actor is a main cast member generally takes priority over guest appearances.
Ludo could be written out of High Potential in season 2 if that is the case.
Why Ludo Is The Perfect Target For “David” In High Potential Season 2
Ludo Has Strong Ties To Morgan And Her Children
There’s been talk suggesting that “David” might try to harm the other detectives that Morgan collaborates with, but it seems improbable given that he previously targeted Oz in the first season. The finale of High Potential Season 1 implies that “David” has no hesitation about approaching Morgan when she’s with her children, but Morgan will probably be extra cautious after that encounter. Instead, it seems more plausible that “David” could deceive Ludo without Ludo realizing his true identity.
Ludo serves as an emotional focus for both the audience and Morgan. While there may not be a romantic bond between them at present, they are bound by two shared children and a deep friendship. Ludo is among the select few individuals whom Morgan feels comfortable entrusting her kids to, revealing her true self around him, and his absence would cause more than just emotional pain for her.
If “David” reaches Ludo, it will mean that Morgan’s children will experience grief too. Ava (Amirah J), Morgan’s eldest daughter, views Ludo as part of her family. Sadly, she has already lost her father under mysterious circumstances. Therefore, Ava can empathize with what her younger siblings might feel, and the loss of Ludo could provide an emotionally charged storyline for the show, focusing on Morgan’s family’s struggles.
From a narrative perspective, choosing Ludo over Morgan’s own children as a target is a more secure option for the writers. The risk of “David” reaching Morgan’s kids is already present. By focusing on Ludo, they can still create tension and confrontation without directly endangering her children.
High Potential Season 2 Would Be Wrong To Totally Write Out Ludo
Ludo Is An Underrated Character
While it could be compelling to have “David” confront Ludo in the storyline for High Potential Season 2, given Killam’s potential new acting role, it wouldn’t be wise to eliminate Ludo entirely from the series. He is High Potential’s quiet achiever, and his absence would be a significant loss.
In the movie “High Potential”, Killam brilliantly portrays Ludo, who serves as the bond that keeps Morgan’s family united. Ludo is consistently present for the family, providing a soothing influence amidst Morgan’s tumultuous life. As the plots for some of the mysteries grow increasingly absurd, Ludo plays a crucial role in keeping the series grounded, offering a reliable support system that Morgan relies on heavily.
Ludo is gaining popularity among fans, and it’s been confirmed that the second season of “High Potential” will delve into Morgan and Ludo’s past relationship. However, their history shouldn’t be explored to such an extent that Ludo’s role in the narrative disappears altogether.
