Shanola Hampton is excited to finally say the word Found.
She currently stars in the NBC missing persons procedural, from All American showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll, but has been unable to openly promote the new series due to the actors strike.
Now that SAG-AFTRA has struck a tentative deal, she’s ready to tell audiences all about playing Gabi Mosely, a crisis management specialist (and former missing person herself) who is determined to solve the missing persons cases that often slip through the cracks.
So far, this season has told stories about an addict, an undocumented person, a young Black girl, and more. Episode 7, which debuts on Tuesday, will follow Gabi and her team as they try to find an Indigenous person who has gone missing.
“Really, the thing that I’ve been most excited to say about this is it’s such a project with purpose and it goes beyond entertainment,” Hampton said.
Of course, there’s plenty of entertainment too — especially since Gabi has a secret of her own. She’s been holding her kidnapper captive and using him to help solve cases. It seems like it’s only a matter of time before someone finds out what’s been going on.
Hampton spoke with Deadline about what to expect from the second half of the season in the interview below.
DEADLINE: Finally, about halfway through the season, you’re able to talk about Found. What have you been waiting to say about this series?
SHANOLA HAMPTON: Well, there’s so much. I have been so excited just to say the name Found. Really, the thing that I’ve been most excited to say about this is it’s such a project with purpose and it goes beyond entertainment. I think that that’s been the hardest part about not being able to promote before this point is that I feel so
