Netflix Brings NBC's Cancelled 'Found' to Streaming on New Year's Day

Published 01/02/2026, 1:18 PM CST

In the volatile world of streaming, a show’s cancellation often feels like a door slamming shut, but Netflix has a habit of picking the lock. When the giant red N breathes new life into a discarded series, it is like flipping an hourglass just as the last grain of sand was about to fall. The ticking clock resets, the stakes are heightened, and a story of Found, which was once left, is suddenly granted a second chance to find its audience.

This January, the streaming giant is once again proving that a cancellation notice does not always mean the end of the road for high-stakes drama.
