Mark-Paul Gosselaar Cast In New NBC Missing Persons Drama Found

Saved By The Bell actor Mark-Paul Gosselaar will join the cast for the upcoming NBC show Found, a missing-persons drama, opposite Shanola Hampton.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar joins the cast of the upcoming NBC pilot Found.  The upcoming series is a missing-persons drama, inspired by the disproportional percentage of missing people of color in the United States whose stories society often forgets. Found specifically centers around Gabi Mosely (Shanola Hampton), a Public Relations Specialist who heads a team committed to finding the truth behind these missing persons, while also harboring secrets of her own.

Deadline reports that Gosselaar will be joining the cast as "Sir," a mysterious figure from Gabi's past. The exciting new role follows Gosselaar's most recent appearance on ABC's Mixed-ish. Gosselaar's television credits also include roles on Franklin & Bash, Commander In Chief, NYPD Blue, The Passage, and most famously Saved By The Bell.

Gosselaar made his first television appearance back in 1989, playing Zack Morris on Saved By The Bell. The actor co-executive produces and guest stars on Peacock's 2020 revival of the famous show. Saved By the Bell (2020) released its second season on Peacock in November 2021 to positive reviews.

Found comes from showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll, who wrote and will executive-produce the show. Accompanying her as showrunners are Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and their associated production companies, Berlanti Productions, Rock My Soul Productions, and Warner Bros. TV. The showrunner team previously produced the show All-American, which The CW renewed recently for its fifth season. Hampton, who fans might know as Veronica from the hit show Shameless, c0-produces Found as well as headlines it.
