NBC pulled the plug on the gripping missing-persons drama “Found” back in May 2025, right after its season 2 finale dropped major cliffhangers. But hold up – Netflix swooped in with seasons 1 and 2 (that’s 35 episodes total) hitting the platform on January 2, 2026, and it’s already cracking the US Top 10 streaming chart at No. 7. Fans who missed it on broadcast or Peacock now get a binge-friendly shot, sparking revival chatter amid strong early numbers.
What “Found” TV Series Delivers
“Found” follows Gabi Mosley (Shanola Hampton), a crisis manager and former kidnapping victim leading a team that hunts overlooked missing people ignored by cops and media. Her twisted edge? She keeps her old kidnapper, “Sir” (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), chained in her basement for insider tips on predator minds. Season 1 (13 eps, Oct 2023-Jan 2024) builds the team and cases like “Missing While Indigenous,” averaging solid 3M+ live viewers; season 2 (22 eps, Oct 2024-May 2025) dives deeper into backstories with declining but still decent ratings around 2M.
Key cast includes Kelli Williams as obsessive investigator Margaret Reed, Brett Dalton as detective Mark Trent, Gabrielle Walsh as survivor Lacey Quinn, Arlen Escarpeta as agoraphobic hacker Zeke, and Karan Oberoi as vet enforcer Dhan Rana.
“Found” TV Series Cancellation Drama
NBC axed “Found” post-season 2 due to slipping ratings and network shifts like NBA deals eating airtime, despite 6M+ multiplatform views per ep in season 2. Fans raged with petitions and social pleas for pickups, but by July 2025, TVLine confirmed shopping to other nets/streamers flopped – “the process is over,” no new home found. No season 3 greenlit then, leaving arcs like Sir’s escape and Margaret’s son Jamie unresolved.
Netflix Pickup: Savior or Just a Stream?
This is a Warner Bros. licensing deal, not a full revival – no season 3 announced yet. But its quick chart climb alongside giants like Stranger Things hints at potential; past hits like Manifest got Netflix seasons after cancellation. As of Jan 3, 2026, it’s surging in US Netflix Top 10, could pressure for more if global views explode. Binge seasons 1-2 now to join the hype – who knows, Mosely & Associates might rise again.
