Episodes will also be streaming the next day on Hulu, and filming for the third season will begin this fall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Filming a whole season of TRAFFICKED during a global pandemic was extremely challenging, but there&#8217;s been an explosion of black markets over the past year, and I think we all quickly realized that this series has become more relevant than ever,&#8221; said van Zeller. &#8220;With this second season, we&#8217;ve managed to dive even deeper and gain even more access into underworld networks around the world.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-381183965\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Peabody and duPont Award-winning journalist Mariana van Zeller continues her harrowing exploration into the underworld&#8217;s most dangerous black markets. Armed with National Geographic&#8217;s trademark inside access, each episode follows van Zeller as she works her way inside a different black market or global trafficking network where she meets the players and learns the business, all in an effort to understand the inner workings of the world&#8217;s multitrillion-dollar shadow economy.<\/p>\n<p>The 10-part second season of TRAFFICKED WITH MARIANA VAN ZELLER offers viewers a mission-driven adventure to places rarely seen, providing an intimate peek behind the curtain to provide a 360-degree view of these poorly understood trafficking networks. Topics this season include van Zeller unveiling the inner workings of romance scams; following a meth superhighway, from a massive cartel-run lab in Sinaloa across the border and into the lives of American users; setting off on a wild journey through California&#8217;s black market for weed, which has mushroomed since marijuana legalization four years ago; following a smuggling route of cars stolen from the U.S. to shipping containers bound for West Africa, where the demand is skyrocketing; going inside the secretive world of outlaw motorcycle gangs, also known as 1% clubs, where her interest is piqued by a string of biker-related violence; and investigating the dark corners of black market plastic surgery, where greed and social media are driving patients toward deadly motel-room operations.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, as America struggles to reckon with its white supremacist past, van Zeller races to expose an underground movement hellbent on an even more violent white supremacist future. It&#8217;s a movement that trades in ideologies as dangerous as any narcotic or firearm, with one responsible for mass killings around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Season one of TRAFFICKED WITH MARIANA VAN ZELLER was a 2021 Gracie Award winner for Best Reporter\/Correspondent &#8211; Mariana van Zeller and received a 2021 Critics Choice Real TV Award nomination for Best Crime\/Justice Show. The series was also recently nominated for a 2021 News and Documentary Emmy for Outstanding Business and Economic Documentary.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3091335590\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Geographic announced today the greenlight of the third season of Emmy-nominated TRAFFICKED WITH MARIANA VAN ZELLER ahead of the winter premiere of the docuseries&#8217; second season bow on Wednesday, December 1, 2021, @ 9PM ET\/PT on National Geographic.
