The project is based on the fact that “in any given year, more than 600,000 people are reported missing in the U.S. More than half that number are people of color that the country seems to forget about,” per the official logline. “A public relations specialist (Hampton) — who was once herself one of those forgotten ones — and her crisis management team now make sure there is always someone looking out for the forgotten missing people.

Shameless alumna Shanola Hampton has been tapped as the lead of NBC pilot Found. Hampton also will serve as producer on the one-hour missing-persons drama, written by Nkechi Okoro Carroll, which hails from Berlanti Productions, Carroll’s Rock My Soul Productions and Warner Bros. TV, where Greg Berlanti and Carroll are under overall deals.
This is the second consecutive NBC drama pilot for Hampton. Last June, she was cast as a lead of Dangerous Moms and served as producer on the pilot as part of a one-year talent holding deal with NBCU Television & Streaming and Universal Television she’d signed in December 2020. That pilot did not move forward, making Hampton available. She was quickly approached about Found after the project was greenlighted to pilot in January.

Exclusive: NBC is not moving forward with its ensemble drama pilot At That Age, created, directed and based on an original idea by Malcolm D. Lee, director of current box-office champ Space Jam: A New Legacy.
I hear the options on the cast, which includes Adrian Holmes, Nicole Ari Parker, Brad James, Jade Eshete, Sinqua Walls, Emayatzy Corinealdi and Christian Keyes, were coming up July 31, prompting the network to make a decision.
As is common practice, Universal Television, which produced the pilot, will shop it to other networks while it still has the actors under deals.
At That Age, an exploration of an African-American family’s legacy, was ordered to pilot in January 2020, but put on hold due to the coronavirus-related production shutdown. It restarted casting this past spring and was produced off-cycle like all of NBC’s pilots over the last Covid-impacted year. The network also has drama pilot Dangerous Moms,...
