FBI True is making a comeback on October 15, and we have all the details on what will unfold in season 5. The show gives fans an inside look at the most dangerous missions the FBI went on to solve the biggest cases in history. Season 5 digs into everything from the McDonald’s Monopoly scam to a showdown between anti-government militias and the FBI.
Not all of the airdates have been released to the public, but in previous seasons, FBI True would release one episode a week. We could potentially expect to see the same cadence for season 5.
