More than 600,000 people are reported missing in the U.S. each year, but more than half are people of color who are forgotten about. A public relations specialist, once herself one of those missing persons, and her crisis management team ensure there is always someone looking out for the forgotten ones.<\/p>\n The pilot is produced by Berlanti Productions and Rock My Soul Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Executive producers are Okoro Carroll and Lindsay Dunn for Rock My Soul Productions and Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden for Berlanti Productions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NBC has given pilot orders for the reboot of the sci-fi series\u00a0Quantum Leap and the missing-persons drama\u00a0Found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":16157,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[357],"class_list":["post-16156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-nbc","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
