It comes a day after NBC revealed the first trailer for the drama, which was originally scheduled to launch last midseason but was pushed to the fall schedule.

The series follows public relations specialist Gabi Mosely (Hampton) and her crisis management team dedicated to finding missing persons, especially those often overlooked by the system. Gabi was once one of those forgotten ones, and is still hiding a chilling secret of her own – she has found her kidnapper, Sir, (Gosselaar), and uses his twisted expertise to help solve their cases. The cast also includes Brett Dalton, Gabrielle Walsh, Arlen Escarpeta, Karan Oberoi and Kelli Williams.

Carroll executive produces alongside Sonay Hoffman, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman and Lindsay Dunn. Berlanti Productions and Rock My Soul Productions produce in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television.

The pilot episode will air at the MIT Media Lab and will be co-hosted by Danielle Wood, Assistant Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab, and Faculty Lead for Major in African and African Diaspora Studies at MIT.

It joins films including Breakwater, Common Ground, Healing Dakota and American Outlaws.

The festival runs its live program between September 21 and 24.

The likes of Found director DeMane Davis, Dermot Mulroney, Darren Mann, Alyssa Goss, James Rowe, Matt Paul, Sean McEwen, Cory Hardrict and James LaMonte are expected to attend.
