Will There Be a Season 3 of Found?
No, Found Season 3 has not been ordered, and officially the show is considered canceled after two seasons. NBC announced in May 2025 that Found would not return for the 2025–2026 broadcast schedule, ending the original run with the Season 2 finale on May 15, 2025.
The question has come back in early 2026 because seasons 1 and 2 arrived on Netflix on January 2, 2026, where the show quickly climbed into the U.S. Top 10 and pulled in a fresh wave of viewers who naturally assumed that strong streaming numbers might unlock a Found Season 3.
At the moment, though, the situation is simple but a bit frustrating: the existing 35 episodes (seasons 1 and 2 together) can be streamed on Netflix and elsewhere, but there is no official green light, filming schedule, or release window for any third season.
Why Found Season 3 is Canceled?
Found Season 3 is effectively canceled because NBC pulled the plug on the series in May 2025 and the later attempt to find a new home for the show was reported as unsuccessful. The missing-persons drama actually launched with strong interest, but by Season 2 NBC was reshaping its entire primetime lineup around a huge NBA deal and long-running franchises, and several scripted shows including Found were cut in the same wave.
Industry reports note a mix of reasons: a ratings drop from the early highs, higher costs in a crowded drama slot, and the network’s shift toward live sports and proven brands like Law & Order and One Chicago.
After cancellation, the producers and studio shopped Found to other outlets, but TVLine reporting in mid‑2025 stated that “the shopping process is over,” which basically closed the door on an immediate Season 3 rescue. That is why, even as Netflix viewing sparks speculation, official sources still describe the series as ended after Season 2 rather than “on hold” or “in active talks.”
About Found Season 3
There is no official Found Season 3 in development, but there is a small, conditional possibility that strong performance on Netflix could create new discussions in the future. History shows that a few canceled broadcast shows have been revived after strong streaming numbers Manifest moving from NBC to Netflix is one of the most well-known examples but coverage around Found is careful to stress that nothing like that has been announced and that fans should not rely on a revival.
If a hypothetical Season 3 ever happened, it would most likely need a brand‑new deal with a streamer like Netflix, fresh contracts for key cast members such as Shanola Hampton, and a creative plan to resolve the cliffhangers left by the Season 2 finale, which currently functions as the series ending.
For now, the “official information” is straightforward: Found ran for two seasons from 2023 to 2025 on NBC, was canceled on May 9–10, 2025 ahead of the 2025–2026 schedule, and as of January 5, 2026, there is no confirmed Found Season 3 order, production start date, or release date anywhere.
