Get ready for a chillingly complex crime procedural as a fan-favourite, albeit cancelled, NBC drama prepares to drop all two seasons on Netflix, introducing a twisty, high-stakes hunt for the forgotten missing. The story centres on a hero who operates outside the law, driven by her own traumatic past.

The central, gripping tension of the show lies in its unconventional heroine's dark secret, which is central to the plot and is coming to the streaming service very soon.

Both Season 1 and the recent final Season 2 of Found, totalling 35 episodes, are scheduled to arrive on Netflix in the United States on Friday, January 2nd, 2026.

Found centers on Gabi Mosely, a crisis manager and public relations specialist who runs a firm dedicated to finding missing people overlooked by law enforcement and the media, particularly those from marginalized communities.

Gabi's motivation is rooted in her own past as a kidnapping victim. She harbours a deep secret: she has tracked down and captured her former abductor, known only as Sir, and is holding him captive in her basement. She uses his warped insights into the criminal mind to help her solve her own missing persons cases.

Cast details and why Found deserves a watch

The core of the drama is the unsettling dynamic between the hero and her villainous captive. Shanola Hampton stars as the brilliant but morally compromised protagonist, Gabi Mosely. Mark-Paul Gosselaar plays the sinister, manipulative kidnapper, Sir.

The rest of Gabi’s crisis management team, Mosely & Associates, is also made up of individuals with personal connections to the missing persons epidemic. Kelli Williams as Margaret Reed, a detective who is searching for her own missing son. Brett Dalton as Detective Mark Trent, Gabi's ally on the police force. Gabrielle Walsh as Lacey Quinn, an intern who shares a secret past with Gabi.

Arlen Escarpeta as Zeke Wallace, a tech expert suffering from agoraphobia after his own abduction. Karan Oberoi as Dhan Rana, the firm's security specialist, is motivated by his history of being reported missing while in the military.

While the show was canceled after its second season, leaving some overarching plotlines without a definitive finale, it has a strong case-of-the-week procedural format that wraps up many of its individual missing-persons and gripping stories. Given the show's complex characters, unique premise, and the studio's relationship with Netflix, a strong performance on the streamer could potentially lead to a revival down the line.
