National Geographic announced today that the nine-time Emmy Award-winning investigative series Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller will return for its highly anticipated new season on Saturday, July 19, at 9/8c.

Known for her fearless reporting and unparalleled contacts with the world’s most dangerous black markets, Emmy, Peabody, and duPont Award-winning journalist Mariana van Zeller pulls back the curtain on global criminal enterprises—from cartels and scammers to militant extremists and underground drug labs.

In the wake of four News and Documentary Emmys wins last week (adding to the five from the year before) and scoring a record 29 nominations this year alone, the fifth season of Trafficked continues van Zeller’s immersive, on-the-ground reporting in some of the world’s most secretive underground markets.

The new season kicks off with a groundbreaking look into the operations of Mexican cartels inside the United States. The results are shocking. From small-town drug cells,...

Fresh off 4 Emmy wins and a record 29 nominations, Trafficked with Mariana van Zelleris back for season 5. The award-winning journalist is doing another deep dive into deadly underground markets around the globe, and ScreenRant is honored to present a first look at the trailer. Beginning on July 19, Nat Geo (in association with Muck Media) will take viewers on a harrowing tour that encompasses cartels, bride trafficking operations, street racing competitions, and much more.

While van Zeller is well-known for her fearless reporting on black markets — a tireless effort for which she has already won Peabody and duPont Awards, in addition to the show's Emmys — Trafficked allows viewers at home to be part of the experience. As a journalist, van Zeller is well-versed in breaking down complicated criminal enterprises for the public and explaining why the dangers of ignorance are more concerning than ever in the current climate.

Prime Video plans a Nov. 3 rollout for the second season of superhero saga Invincible, sharing a teaser trailer today at San Diego Comic-Con.

In addition to the second season, Prime announced Invincible Atom Eve, a standalone episode centered on the titular character, which will premiere July 21 on Prime Video.

Season 1 premiered in March 2021. In April 2021, the series was renewed for Seasons 2 and 3.

From The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and based on the Skybound/Image comic of the same name by Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, Invincible is an hour-long, adult animated superhero show that revolves around seventeen-year-old Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), who’s just like every other guy his age — except that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons).

But as Mark develops powers of his own, he discovers that his father’s legacy may not be as heroic as it seems.

Into the Spotlight, the coming-of-age musical based on a screenplay by teenager Kate Larson, who was just 15 years old when she wrote it, has found a home in North America.

The family feature — which stars Leigh-Allyn Baker (Good Luck Charlie), Karen Abercrombie (War Room), and Larson — has been acquired by Entertainment Squad, which has set a VOD release date of Sep. 1.

Directed by Lisa Arnold and executive produced by Cakki and Brian Warren of Revive Productions, Into the Spotlight centers on a high-schooler who grew up writing music with her rockstar dad but always preferred to stay out of the limelight. When her best friend isn’t able to perform, she steps in as her substitute at their high school talent show. For luck, she uses a vintage, glowing microphone that turns out to be enchanted. Her incredible performance goes viral and overnight she becomes a star. Discovering fame and losing herself along the way,...
