Fans of the Mystery series of NBC “Found” will have to look elsewhere to obtain their dose of cases of fictitious missing people now that the series has been canceled by the network after two seasons. As indicated by DeadlineThe show will not come back for a season 3, which means that the final of season 2 will serve as the final of the series (for the moment, at least).

According to a distinct report from VarietyWarner Bros. Television, which produces “Found”, will see if it can find a new house for the show, whether it is a streaming service or another network. This kind of thing has happened several times in the past, Like when “Désinated Survivor” went from ABC to Netflix Or “Lucifer” went from Fox to Netflix. So, even if it is possible, because fans must be adapted to the fact that Gabi Mosely could well be withdrawn.

“Found” himself focuses on Gabi (Shanola Hampton), a removal survivor who now leads a team responsible for looking for missing people. It is supported by a band of people whose life has also been affected by the cases of missing people and will not stop anything to bring these victims back to the house. But Gabi is home to a dark secret while she secretly resolves cases with the help of Sir (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), the man who kidnapped Gabi in adolescence and is held captive in the basement of Gabi.

As for the place where the series could end, if not NBC? It is the assumption of anyone. Peacock seems unlikely As streaming losses go up for him and Apple TV + (with almost all other services based on an unnamed Netflix, Disney + or Max subscription). Most streamers are more picky about programming, just like networks, with a competition for eyeballs in a burst media environment, which made it smaller than ever to create success. However, this can still prove to be one of these situations of “One Man’s Junk’s Treasure” of another man.

Now the big question: why did NBC cancel “found” after season 2? As these things do almost always, it comes down to dollars and hundred at the end of the day. In many cases, it is a relatively simple audience compared to the costs equation. The reports noted that the audience had decreased quite significantly for the show during its second season, which was certainly a factor. Since broadcasting and cable now represent less than 50% of all television audiencesIt makes sense.

However, there was another important factor in play here. This is part of a broader reduction in the programming scripted following the 180 hours of basketball in prime time which will be broadcast on the network next season as part of the $ 2.5 billion agreement a year of NBCUNIVERS with the NBA. This also resulted in NBC also canceled “The irrational”, “Night Court”, “Lopez vs Lopez”, ” And, the most surprising of all, “is suitable for” after a single season. The spin-off of very successful “costumes” seemed to be a Dunk of Slam in the light of the popularity of the original show. However, we are there.

“Found” with Kelli Williams, Brett Dalton, Gabrielle Walsh, Arlen Escarpeta and Karan Oberoi, with Nkechi Okoro Carroll serving as a showrunner. The series was carried out by Carroll, Sonay Hoffman, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lindsay Dunn and the Mega-Producer Greg Berlanti (who was also behind the CW arrowvers). Hampton also served as a producer in addition to playing in the series.
