Those hoping to catch the highly-anticipated return of the long-running series can stream To Catch a Smuggler through Fubo (free trial), DirecTV (free trial), Sling (50% off first month) or Disney+ (plans start at $10.99 a month).

What is To Catch a Smuggler about?

The hit National Geographic crime series highlights the never-ending stream of contraband that makes its way into the country each year. Defending our borders are the vigilant men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, whose agencies make up a three-tiered defense of America’s airports.

Throughout the series, viewers tuning in will find out that the DHS will stop at nothing to catch a smuggler.

The upcoming season nine premiere episode takes viewers to San Diego to take a gripping look at the ongoing battle against drug smuggling, particularly focusing on methamphetamine operations.

In the upcoming episode, the Homeland Security Investigations (HIS) team works to dismantle a lethal network of meth smugglers. Meanwhile, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) also plays a crucial role in the debut episode as they work to intercept individuals attempting to carry drugs hidden in their bodies over the border.
