Found Isn’t Finished Yet: What We Need in Season 3 (So Save It)!

Fans of Found have been waiting with bated breath as Warner Bros. continues to shop the show around.

While we wait, there’s one truth we can’t ignore: this series isn’t finished telling its story.

And if (when!) a third season gets picked up, there’s so much ground left to cover, so many characters whose stories aren’t finished, and so many truths that still haven’t come to light.

Join us as we explore everything we need to see from a third season.

And don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments below. Share if you care. And let’s keep Found on everyone’s radar, shall we?

I’ll see you in the comments!

Zeke’s Past Finally Takes Center Stage

Zeke deserved more in Found Season 2. Plain and simple.

Bits and pieces of his story surfaced — childhood trauma, an abduction at the hands of his uncle, and all of it potentially contributing to his agoraphobia.

But there’s a lot more.

Found Season 3 needs to dig into Zeke’s history. Give us the flashbacks. Show us how his trauma shaped him.

And for the love of all that is good, give us more Zeke and Lacey. Their quiet, slow-burn chemistry deserves a real chance.

Trent Family Secrets Come Out

Trent is on high alert on Found.

For most of the season, Sir couldn’t resist taunting “Heavy Boots” with Trent Sr.’s shady involvement in a string of missing persons cases.

We made some headway when M&A solved them and reunited the families during Found Season 2 Episode 15.

But we know there’s more to the Trent family mystery. Whether it ties Sir and Trent by blood or something even darker, Trent knows more than he’s letting on. His evasiveness with Gabi isn’t just guilt — it’s fear.

The third season could finally deliver on that, though.

More Cases, More Justice, More Heart

At Found’s core, it’s about giving voice to the type of stories, people, and communities who slip through the cracks.

Found is a breath of fresh air. Its commitment to showing who gets forgotten — and who fights to bring them back — is both timely and necessary.

It’s always one of the things that makes Found so special, and a third season would explore more of those stories.

We’re living in a time when we need those stories most — seeing the humanity in each other and the reassurance that, no matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you look like, you’re worthy of being found.

Dhan’s Trauma and the Origin of “Dhabi” Deserve the Spotlight

(Matt Miller/NBC)

Dhan is Found’s most enigmatic character.

We finally got some more background on Dhan’s captivity and met Mike, the catalyst behind it, during Found Season 2 Episode 22, and after that taste, we’re clamoring for more.

Dhan was a POW for three years, and it left a toll on him that we can’t fathom. It’s well past time to unpack that thoroughly.

We know Dhan credits Gabi for saving him, so it would be fantastic if, via flashbacks, we learned how and why.

Lacey Takes the Lead

(Matt/Miller)

Lacey is the heart of M&A, and when she was taken, everything fell apart.

We also learned via flashbacks how her trauma shaped her life moving forward and dug into the unshakeable bond between the two sisters.

With Lacey continuing to advance in her career plans and Gabi making such a life-altering decision, the third season could see Lacey stepping up, taking the lead in new and exciting ways, and keeping M&A together while helping Gabi as best she can.

It would also give the series a chance to delve into her trauma and how she has come into her own since the last abduction. The third season could be about Lacey reclaiming her power, and I would love to see it!

Jamie Continues to Find His Place at M&A

(Matt Miller/NBC)

It’s true that Jamie has been a polarizing addition to the series. He had a rocky beginning when we weren’t certain if he was the real Jamie. His trauma also didn’t manifest in a way that was always palatable.

However, he grew to become a solid addition to the team and felt like one of M&A’s “misfit toys,” with whom Gabi formed a bond and subsequently built a family around. It’s been interesting to see his passion for finding people.

We met all the other members of M&A at the same time they settled into their roles and learned about the agency’s work. However, through Jamie, we get to see firsthand what it’s like when a trauma survivor learns to turn their pain into purpose.

Lena Isn’t Done Yet (And Neither Is Danielle Savre!)

Lena is Found's biggest villain yet.
(Matt Miller/NBC)

Let’s be real; we mostly want to see Danielle Savre playing a fun villainess!

Lena is a deliciously complex wildcard, and Danielle Savre is clearly having a blast playing her.

But there’s more to her than sass and snark. She was Sir’s first victim. He raised her.

Lena may be behind bars, but there’s so much story left to tell with her, especially in relation to Sir.

Sir Survives and Reaches Unpredictable New Heights

( Matt Miller/NBC)

Let’s face it: a villain as compelling as Sir doesn’t go down that easily.

Whether he survives his attack or somehow returns in another shocking twist (memory loss, anyone?), he’s still essential to the Found universe. And Mark-Paul Gosselaar has never been better.

How would Sir react when he learned that Gabi had confessed and made this move to reclaim her power from him? What’s his connection to the Trents?

Found isn’t through with this character yet, and the third season could unlock a treasure trove of new layers for him.

Gabi Reconciles with Her Guilt and Stops Playing Martyr

(Matt Miller/NBC)

We’ve spent the entire sophomore season with Gabi atoning for his sins, specifically for keeping Sir captive and placing her loved ones at risk.

The finale seemingly liberated her from the guilt when she admitted to the public that she, too, is a kidnapper. It sets the groundwork for Gabi’s polarizing national take.

She’ll likely be a folk hero to many or a raging hypocrite to others. But with a grander stage filled with scrutiny, it opens the door further for Gabi to come to grips with her trauma, how she copes, and explore why she sacrifices herself to the wolves at every turn.

A third season could mean more deep reflection and exploration of one of television’s most complex and compelling female protagonists.

Will Gabi’s admission liberate her or cause more pain? It’s one of many questions the season finale prompts, and I desperately need someone to pick this series up so we can touch on this further.

There are too many unanswered questions, broken hearts, and powerful, authentic stories waiting to be told.

So, please let Warner Bros find it a new home! Someone, save it already!

Found Wishlist

1) Gabby often views herself as "just as much a monster" as Sir. I take issue with this idea of a victim's response to her kidnapper as an act of a "monster". As a result, Gabi often feels that she deserves punishment to an extreme. For example, in Found season 2 episode 18 Gabi tells Sir that she deserves to die at the hands of the inmates[ due to physical and SA] to pay for her crimes. This scene feels incredibly jarring and sad imho. So in regards to a Found Season 3 wishlist, I would like the writers to please understand the optics of a series that features a black woman who constantly berates herself, is subject to contempt from her fellow friends/colleagues and receives no grace from no one, not even herself. I enjoy Found so much; however, upon rewatching the series season 2 often feels like an uphill journey because of the constant disparagement Gabi endures from her team and Trent. So to end my long statement, my wishlist for Found season 3 is PLEASE allow Gabi's character to receive compassion from others and to acknowledge to herself she deserves it. No more scripts full of Gabi hate PRETTY PLEASE.

2) Balancing of the cases with storyline. I would like to see some cases extend throughout multiple episodes, so that we [the audience] can learn more about the characters. Also, I think the show can benefit from missing person cases that require extensive time to solve instead of a solution coming about at the end of the episode. With this method I thi k the cases will feel like they are impacting the narrative.

3) @JasmineBlu do you mind sharing your ideal 'sir experiences memory loss' scene with the rest of us? How would you like for his memory loss to manifest? And in what ways do you think this would change Sir's behavior in regards to Gabi? Do you think Sir would be a little less obsessed and respect her boundaries if he th8nks she is a stranger?

I agree completely with your first point. The first half of the season was really rough on me because it had Gabi taking these lashings she didn't deserve, and the people harshest and most critical and relentless about it also being not only two white people, but two people who don't fully grasp the trauma of captivity had me enraged. Every time Margaret and Trent repeatedly called her a monster and compared her to Sir, I felt like I was losing it. It just made me so angry, and I thought it was interesting because initially, I assumed the optics were very intentional, but then they didn't do enough with it to ensure they were making a point. I even wrote about it in an editorial. It wasn't lost on me that Dhan and Lacey showed her the most grace.

Now, with that cliffanger, it actually opens the door for Gabi to face the judgement on a national and global level. She takes on everyone's judgement, and her martyr complex is just so heartbreaking to me on so many levels.

I also agree about the cases. The first season, I felt like I connected with the cases more, but this past season, they were just background plot fodder while they devoted time on other things. It was so important to have them solving these types of cases in the first place, so I would love them to be meaningful and memorable again. I barely remember most of them from this season

Hmm. I feel like it's a classic soap opera type of trope that could suit this series well enough and allow them to freshen things up with Sir without getting rid of him. Like perhaps in that prison brawl we never saw, he sustained a head injury, and he's battling some type of retrograde amnesia. It would be interesting if he only remembers Gabi as his student that he still was fond of but didn't remember kidnapping her. So the obsession is kind of there, but maybe we're at the point where he's trying to rein it in. It would be interesting to see him mentally transported to that time in limbo, before he made this huge life-altering (for both him and Gabi) decision to abduct her and hold her captive. Would he try to resist it? Would it have him obsessing over her and plotting again? Would it be something he fakes or tries to manipulate as his memory gradually returns? Is he still the monster without his memory?

Or, they could go bigger and have him not even remember her at all. Would he obsess over her all over again? Would Gabi feel freer if her monster doesn't remember her? Can she trust it? I don't know.

I absolutely love Found! I was so disappointed when it ended. That show always kept my interest. Mark-Paul Gooselaar is fabulous. I couldn’t stop watching him. Please, please don’t end the show.

There just has to be a 3rd Season of Found, it is sooooo much better than a lot of shows on TV, and got the short end of the stick by being cancelled. It still irks me that NBC is still mulling over Grosse Pointe, when it should have been the one to be cancelled instead. I like the cast on Grosse Pointe, but the show itself was a snooze. Oh, and in a coincidence of timing, I am watching Brett Dalton in a Hallmark movie. I hope all is well with you, @JasmineBlu. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!❤️

I'm just so bummed about Found because it really is better than so many other shows on broadcast! Too much story left to tell!

I'm hanging in there. I hope you're doing well, too!
