Disney has announced that the fifth season of the National Geographic series, “To Catch A Smuggler”, is coming to Disney+ in the United States on Wednesday 27th September 2023.

One hundred twenty-four million people enter the United States each year. It’s a nonstop human tidal wave, and hidden amongst them is an endless stream of contraband and ill intentions. Defending our borders are the vigilant men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, whose agencies make up a three-tiered defence of America’s airports.
