Found S1
In any given year, more than 600 000 people are reported missing in the US. More than half that number are people of colour that the country seems to forget about.
NBC’s biggest launch on Peacock yet, Found centres on recovery specialist Gabi Mosely and her crisis management team as they work tirelessly to find missing people forgotten by the system. But this everyday hero is hiding a chilling secret of her own…
Created by Nigerian-American Nkechi Okoro Carroll (All American and All American: Homecoming), Found stars award winner Shanola Hampton (Veronica Fisher in Shameless) opposite the likes of Kelli Williams (Dr. Gillian Foster in Lie to Me, Lindsay Dole in The Practice), Teen Choice winner Brett Dalton (Grant Ward aka Hive in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), and Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Paul Johnson in Mixed-ish, Det. John Clark, Jr. in NYPD Blue).
AV Club calls the show “a compelling character study of how differently people heal (or don’t) from traumatic, life-changing events – all while shining a light on the real-life efforts of non-profit organisations such as the Black and Missing Foundation.”
