NBC’s Cancelled Thriller Resurfaces on Netflix’s Popular Streaming Chart
The cancelled NBC series, Found, is experiencing a resurgence after being added to Netflix’s popular streaming chart. The show aired from 2023 to 2025 and focused on Gabrielle “Gabi” Mosely, portrayed by Shanola Hampton. Gabi is a crisis manager who tackles missing persons cases, receiving help from her former kidnapper, Hugh “Sir” Evans, played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar.
Overview of Found
Found ran for two seasons, concluding in May 2025 with its second season finale. Despite its cancellation, the series has gained traction on Netflix since its launch on January 2, 2026. Just one day after its debut on the platform, Found achieved the No. 7 spot on Netflix’s daily Top 10 series chart in the United States.
Current Streaming Rankings
At the time of writing, the series chart includes:
- 1. Stranger Things
- 2. Harlan Coben’s Run Away
- 3. Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable
- 4. Ricky Gervais: Mortality
- 5. Emily in Paris
- 6. Mark Rober’s CrunchLabs
- 7. Found
- 8. Land of Sin
- 9. The Beast in Me
- 10. Members Only: Palm Beach
Notably, Found is the only show in the Top 10 that originally aired on a network other than Netflix. Its performance amidst Netflix’s original programming raises hopes for potential renewal.
Potential for Renewal
The future of Found remains uncertain. In July 2025, TVLine’s Matt Webb Mitovich reported that the shopping process was complete. However, should the show continue to perform well both domestically and internationally, Netflix may consider acquiring and renewing it.
Historical Context
The revival of cancelled series on Netflix is not unprecedented. Shows such as You, Manifest, and Lucifer have found new life after cancellation. If Found is revived, the break between its cancellation and potential return could be shorter than typical for network series.
In conclusion, Found’s streaming success on Netflix highlights the power of audience demand. Viewers may soon see Gabi and Hugh’s story continue if the series maintains its popularity.
