‘Found' Fans Rally to Rescue Show After Surprise Cancellation by NBC
NBC's cancellation of Found has sparked an uproar—and a full-on rescue campaign—as fans, cast members, and even industry insiders call on other platforms to give the series a second chance. The procedural drama, created by Nkechi Okoro Carroll and led by Shameless alum Shanola Hampton, follows Gabi Mosely, a crisis manager who specializes in missing persons cases while secretly harboring her own kidnapper in her basement. With its compelling premise, strong performances, and a cliffhanger-fueled Season 2 finale set to air May 15, Found had the kind of emotional hook many shows struggle to find. Now, fans are doing everything they can to keep it alive. Despite a strong premiere that drew 10.5 million viewers across platforms, Found saw a significant drop in Season 2 ratings—down over 30% in the 18–49 demo. Still, many fans argue it was one of NBC's strongest dramas.'I'm definitely jumping on the band wagon with this. The show on @nbc called Found was cancelled for a third season. I'm so mad that NBC is doing this 🤬🤬 . @paramountplus @netflix @peacock @hulu One of you guys should pick up the show don't let it be canceled. #FoundNBC' one user wrote on X. Another added, '@peacock, @paramountplus—one of y'all better pick this up because there's NO WAY NBC thought this was a smart move.' "Noooo! We need a #SaveFound campaign #FoundNBC," another may be reason for hope. According to Variety and Deadline, Warner Bros. Television, which co-produced the show, is actively shopping Found to other networks and streaming services. That's sparked comparisons to Manifest, another NBC show famously rescued by Netflix after fan demand boiled over. The final episode, titled 'Missing While Dying,' promises to raise the stakes one last time—unless another network steps in. And fans are making it clear: they're not letting this one go without a fight.
