Found wrapped its second season in February 2025, and folks can’t stop buzzing about whether NBC will greenlight another chapter. The show, led by Shanola Hampton’s fierce Gabi Mosely, hooked viewers with its raw take on missing persons cases, blending heart-pounding drama with real-world grit. That cliffhanger ending—without giving too much away—left everyone desperate for answers about Gabi’s past and her team’s next moves. So, is season 3 happening? Let’s break down what’s known as of October 2025.
Where Found Season 2 Left Things
Season 2, which aired from October 2024 to February 2025, brought 22 episodes of pure intensity. Gabi and her Mosely Investigations crew tackled cases that hit close to home, from forgotten kids to overlooked adults. The team—Reesa (Malaika Roots), Dhan (Arjun Dimedjian), Margaret (Kellee Stewart), and others—faced trust issues and personal demons. The finale dropped a bomb, tying Gabi’s captor, “Sir,” to bigger stakes that had fans gasping. Viewership held strong at about 5 million per episode, and social media lit up with praise for the diverse cast and stories that didn’t shy away from tough topics like systemic injustice.
Is Found Season 3 happening?
Bad news first: NBC’s May 2025 lineup for the 2025-2026 season didn’t include Found. The network leaned hard into sure bets like Chicago P.D. and new shows with broader appeal. Showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll posted a tearjerker on social media, thanking fans and hinting the journey might be over. “We poured our hearts into this. Y’all made it worth it,” she shared. No official “canceled” stamp came, which keeps hope alive, but insiders say it’s a long shot.
Fans aren’t taking it lying down. Posts on platforms like X show frustration: “NBC fumbled Found. Season 3 was right there!” one user vented in August. Another called it “the best show nobody watched enough.” Petitions are floating around, but they haven’t hit critical mass yet.
