Season 2, Episode 1, Cast, Teaser and Release Date Photos Found

The first season of the NBC prime-time series Found ended with Gabi confessing the truth about her deep, dark secret to M&A after Sir escaped her basement. Dhan, who already knew, got to work tracking down Sir, while Gabi and the team worked to find Dashiki, following a new tip. A tip that unfortunately turned out to be Sir’s. The first season ended on a cliffhanger with Sir poisoning Lacey’s dog and then hiding in her closet.

Season two, episode one, “Missing While Bait,” will see the team adjusting to Gabi’s betrayal. The new season premieres on NBC on Thursday, October 3, 2024 at 10:00 PM ET/PT.

Showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll gave TV Guide a taste of what’s in store for M&A now that the team knows Gabi has been lying to them. “It sets them back in a very damaging way — both individually and M&A as a whole. Everyone in M&A is probably guilty of a little bit of Gabi hero worship. She came into their lives at their lowest point and gave them the inspiration and strength to turn trauma into purpose. M&A exists because Gabi saved their lives in an emotional way — and in Lacey’s case, it was actually physically saving her life. She’s a cornerstone of their mental health and healing journey,” Okoro Carroll told TV Guide.

Okoro Carroll continued, “So when that is completely destroyed, which we can see in their reactions, even if we don’t hear what’s being said, that’s not something that’s going to be fixed quickly. It’s not something that would be easily fixed in fully healthy people, let alone people who have experienced the trauma that these guys have experienced.”

The cast includes Shanola Hampton as Gabi Mosely, Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Sir, Kelli Williams as Margaret Reed, and Brett Dalton as Mark Trent. Gabrielle Walsh as Lacey Quinn, Arlen Escarpeta as Zeke Wallace, and Karan Oberoi as Dhan Rana.

“Missing in the Bait” Plot: Gabi and her team at Mosely & Associates are left reeling from her shocking discovery. Flashbacks to Lacey’s childhood begin to emerge, providing important clues, while Sir remains at large.

Season 2 synopsis found courtesy of NBC:

More than 600,000 people are reported missing in the United States each year. More than half of those people are people of color, whom the country seems to have forgotten. Public relations specialist Gabi Mosely (Hampton), who was once one of those forgotten people herself, and her crisis management team make sure that someone is always looking out for the missing. But Gabi has a terrifying secret: in her grief, she has imprisoned her childhood kidnapper, Sir (Gosselaar). Now Sir is on the loose, and her greatest secret is now her greatest threat.
