Everything To Know About ‘Found’ Season 2 On NBC: Showrunner And Stars Tease Season 2 “Payoff”

Quote

“It is singular for me. My intent is just to have the connection that I have with Gabrielle. That’s basically it. Any sort of connection that I can have with Gabrielle is good enough for Sir, whether that’s in the basement, out in the open, but just to have something that keeps us together, in any capacity.”

Though Season 2 will undoubtedly look different now that Sir is out of the basement, Gosselaar said “everything that we built up in the first season, there is going to be a payoff.”

Fall TV Preview 2024: Exclusive Scoop and Photos on 25+ Returning Favorites!

With Sir on the loose and Lacey back in his grasp, Gabi has her work cut out for her in Season 2. “Gabi’s guilt is on a 10,” showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll tells TVLine. “Everything she’s done has been about keeping Lacey safe, and she achieved the exact opposite of that.” In the coming episodes, she must “reconcile that guilt and have it not shut her down in a way where it stops her ability to do the super important job she has.” And although Sir escaped Gabi’s basement at the end of last season, that “seesawing power dynamic” between them will continue and expand now that “they’re on a bigger playground,” Carroll adds. Meanwhile, Gabi’s colleagues at M&A are still reeling from the betrayal that she’d been holding Sir captive — and lied about it. Per Carroll, they all have “different ways that this broken bond is affecting how they do their job.” Newcomers this season include Michael Cassidy (Good Trouble, The O.C.), Dionne Gipson (NCIS) and Danielle Savre (Station 19).

BONUS SPOILER!: Cassidy will play Christian, a grief counselor with an interesting connection to the story. “No one feels comfortable resting until [Sir is] captured, which means they need to get to know everything about him,” Carroll explains. “Having a character like Christian come aboard is a way for [M&A and the audience] to get to know more about Sir in a way that we couldn’t in just his interactions with [teen and adult] Gabi.”

RETURN DATE: Thursday, Oct. 3, at 10/9c (NBC)

Season 2 (premiering Thursday, Oct. 3) will, among other things, tap into “the experience of Black women in hospitals and under medical care, and some of the challenges around that area for us,” says showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll, as well as explore neurodiversity, “especially in young Black boys.”

For a trailer that felt more like a sneak preview. Or maybe that’s just how trailer are days, I hardly watch them. But since I’d somewhat forgotten about this show, it was good to be reminded and to know that they’re not diminishing Gabby’s reveal. 

On 9/19/2024 at 5:14 PM, Trini said:

Just me, or does the trailer seem to imply that Lacey being held captive by Sir lasts more than a couple episodes? I'd hate for that to be drawn out.

Not just you, I also got season long vibes and I don’t like it. I doubt Sir will hurt Lacey since that will forever isolate Gabby, but I’m really hoping it’s a misdirect and they find Lacy at least by the third episode. Because I find Sir’s theatrics silly instead of scary so sitting through junior high English level monologues cloaked in vaguely creepy clues/taunts sounds pre-exhausting lol

Another preview article at AV Club:

With Sir on the loose and out for blood, the premiere is completely removed from the typical case-of-the-week format. Instead, Found’s return is far more of a character study than just about every episode of the show up to this point. It’s immediately clear that Found understands the draw of the  series—its ensemble and these characters’ relationships—and has the confidence to immediately deviate from the norm. And upon returning to said norm, this season goes on to treat the cases more as the appropriate thematic backdrop for the series’ plots and characters than as the driving, central force. That balancing act of procedural and character is what often separates the more interesting, risk taking procedurals from the standard fare, and considering creator and executive producer Nkechi Okoro Carroll’s credentials, it’s clear the series comes from a place of both understanding the format and what elevates it.

Showrunner interview at TV Insider:

excerpts:

Quote

Nkechi Okoro Carroll: We knew there was no way — the first time Sir and Trent are face-to-face, it felt like it had to be a moment — it couldn’t just be a run-in — it needed to be a calculated moment and that it had sort of cataclysmic consequences. [Laughs] And so that’s what we did. These are two men that are polar opposites in so many ways. The thing that they share is the importance that Gabi plays in their life. But there’s Sir’s version of that. There’s Trent’s version of that. And then also two very different sides of the law ....

Quote

They’re very interesting. We wanted to have this non-traditional triangle between Ethan and Dhan and Gabi because nothing between Gabi and Dhan is sexual, but if there’s a person he will take a bullet for, it is Gabi Mosley. And he would do the same for Ethan. He loves them both so much. They are both so important to their life. And right now they couldn’t be further apart in terms of Ethan feeling like Gabi is the gateway to all things bad for Dhan. ...

... And so we have this really beautiful opportunity, which I feel we don’t necessarily see frequently, to really explore this soulmate triangle of one component is romantic, the other one is absolutely purely platonic, but it’s still a soulmate triangle. And how do you resolve that and who you rooting for?

Quote

... And so, yeah, [Sir] knows some things. He doesn’t know everything, but he knows enough that as Gabi and Margaret are figuring out their dynamic, and Margaret, her search for Jamie and her search for the truth of what happened is really going to take center stage in this back half of the season. And so with that comes the question of, what is Margaret willing to do for answers? How far is Margaret willing to go for answers? What does resolution finally, truly look like for Margaret? That’s all stuff we’ll get into in the back half of the season.

A couple of adjectives to describe Heather and Sir’s interactions?

DS: Tense, manipulative.

On both sides?

DS: I would say. I mean, I don’t think Sir can be anything but manipulative, and I think Heather being the ambitious person she is knows that she has to match that manipulation in order to even have anything happen her way or whatever she’s trying to accomplish. So tense, manipulative, but also understanding.

^ From the linked interview.
This adds a point to the ‘she’s Sir’s sister’ theory imo. There are also parts about Heather falling for Trent despite herself which is less interesting but I don’t mind it as much since it doesn’t sound like she’s there to solely be a love interest.
