ABC is developing a new English-Language adaptation of Newen Connect’s French detective series, “Hip (High Intellectual Potential)”, which is known as “HPI (Haut Potentiel Intellectuel)”, in France.

The untitled pilot follows Morgan, a single mom 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. When they discover she has a knack for putting things in order because of her high intellectual potential, she is brought on as a consultant to work with a by-the-book seasoned detective, Karadec, and together they form an unusual and unstoppable team. The new series will star Kaitlin Olson and Daniel Sunjata

Deadline has reported that Deniz Akdeniz has joined the cast of the new show and will play Lev “Oz” Osman. Deniz Akdeniz has previously starred in ABC’s “Once Upon A Time” and HBO’s “The Flight Attendant”.

This new show will be executive produced by Rob Thomas, who has previously worked on “Veronica Mars” and will be the showrunner. Kaitlin Olson will also be a producer on the show. Alethea Jones, who has previously worked on “Mrs Davis”, will also be an executive producer and the director. It is being written by Drew Goddard, who is an executive producer on the project, along with Sarah Esberg, Pierre Laugier, Anthony Lancret, Thomas and Dan Etheridge.

Should this pilot go ahead and be made into a series, we should expect to see it released on ABC and Hulu in the United States, with the show potentially being released as a Star Original on Star+ in Latin America and on Disney+ around the world.
