This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the series being covered here wouldn’t exist.
Gabi Mosely will do anything to bring home the missing people who’ve been lost through the cracks.
The new NBC drama Found, starring Shanola Hampton, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Kelli Williams, Brett Dalton, Gabrielle Walsh, Arlen Escarpeta, and Karan Oberoi, premieres Tuesday, October 3rd.

The series centers on public relations specialist Gabi Mosely (series star and producer Shanola Hampton), who was once part of a haunting statistic: in any given year, more than 600,000 people are reported missing in the U.S, and more than half that number are people of color that the country seems to forget about.
Now, she and her crisis management team make sure there is always someone looking out for the forgotten missing people. But unbeknownst to anyone, this everyday hero is hiding a chilling secret of her own.
Take a look at the photos and videos below for an early look at Found.

Found was originally scheduled to premiere last Spring, but was held for this Fall. It stands out as one of very few new series to hit network television this season due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-Aftra strikes.
