The buzz around Found Season 3 is real, with fans dying to know what’s next for this intense NBC drama. Its mix of heart-pounding cases and messy personal stories has hooked viewers hard. After that wild Season 2 finale, everyone’s asking: Is the show coming back? When might it drop? Who’s in the cast? And what’s the deal with the story? Here’s everything we know so far.
Is Found Season 3 Happening?
As of September 2025, Found Season 3 hasn’t gotten the green light from NBC. Worse, the show got the axe after Season 2 wrapped on May 15, 2025, leaving fans gutted. The team tried shopping it to other networks or streamers like Peacock, but word on the street is the search fizzled out. No one’s picked it up yet, so a third season looks like a long shot for now. The show pulled solid numbers in Season 1, but Season 2 faced stiff competition, which might’ve sealed its fate. Still, fans haven’t given up hope—some are even campaigning online for a revival. Fingers crossed for a miracle.
When Could Season 3 Hit Screens?
With no renewal, there’s no set release date for Season 3. But if it had been renewed, past patterns give some clues. Season 1 dropped on October 3, 2023, and Season 2 hit on October 3, 2024, after filming kicked off in March. If Season 3 followed suit, it could’ve landed around late 2025 or early 2026. For now, that’s just wishful thinking. In the meantime, you can binge Seasons 1 and 2 on Peacock or catch reruns on NBC to relive the drama.
Who’s Back for the Cast?
The Found crew is a big reason fans keep coming back, and Season 3 would’ve likely brought back the heavy hitters, assuming no crazy twists in the Season 2 finale. Here’s who you’d probably see:
-
Shanola Hampton as Gabi Mosely: The fierce leader running Mosely & Associates, wrestling with her past and that bombshell secret she dropped on her team.
-
Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Sir (Hugh): Gabi’s creepy ex-kidnapper. Even locked up in Season 2, he’s a major player. The showrunner hinted he’d stick around, maybe messing with Gabi’s head, though that head injury in the finale has fans wondering if he’s even alive.
-
Kelli Williams as Margaret Reed: The team’s lie-spotting pro, dealing with heavy family drama tied to her son, Jamie.
-
Brett Dalton as Trent: The cop with a complicated past, possibly digging into his dad’s shady dealings from Season 2.
-
Gabrielle Walsh as Lacey: Gabi’s ride-or-die friend, whose trust got rocked last season.
-
Arlen Escarpeta as Zeke: The tech whiz with his own baggage.
-
Karan Oberoi as Dhan: A tough guy whose past trauma popped up in the finale.
New kid Parker Queenan as Jamie was set to be a bigger deal after his role in Season 2. Meanwhile, Danielle Savre as Heather (Lena), Sir’s sister, might’ve taken a backseat after her arrest. New faces or guest stars could’ve spiced things up, but with no Season 3, it’s all up in the air.
What’s the Plot for Season 3?
The Season 2 finale left fans with a lot to chew on, setting up some juicy threads for a potential Season 3. The show balances weekly missing persons cases with deeper, ongoing drama, especially around Gabi and Sir. Here’s what could’ve gone down:
-
Sir’s Next Move: That head injury in the finale had everyone wondering if Sir’s still in the game. The showrunner swore he’d stay a big part of the story, maybe haunting Gabi from behind bars or worse.
-
Gabi’s Fallout: After spilling her secret about keeping Sir locked up, Gabi’s team is shook. Season 3 could’ve dug into the trust issues and how her crew deals with her messy choices.
-
Jamie and Margaret’s Drama: Jamie’s betrayal in the finale hit hard, especially for Margaret. Their mother-son struggle would’ve been a big focus, with Jamie maybe going down a darker path.
-
Trent’s Family Secrets: Hints about Trent’s dad covering up crimes could’ve led to a bigger mystery, tying into the team’s work.
-
Fresh Cases: The show’s core is finding forgotten missing people, so new cases would’ve kept the stakes high, mixed with the team’s personal struggles.
The finale wasn’t meant to end the series, so these loose ends are still dangling. Without a pickup, fans might never get answers unless a streamer swoops in.
