We may not have more Nic Cage, but we do have more National Treasure. At San Diego Comic-Con today, Disney unveiled a first look at National Treasure: Edge of History.
The upcoming original series focuses on a young heroine, Jess (Lisette Olivera), a brilliant and resourceful DREAMer who embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to uncover the truth about her family’s mysterious past and save a lost Pan-American treasure. You can watch the first teaser for the show below.
The panel also revealed that Harvey Keitel will reprise his film role as Peter Sadusky. That makes him the second confirmed guest star to cross over from the National Treasure films. (Justin Bartha, aka Riley Poole, was previously announced as part of the cast.)
In addition to Olivera, the series also stars Zuri Reed (“Flatbush Misdemeanors”) as Tasha, Jess’ ride-or-die friend who joins the treasure hunt but is forced to reevaluate her belief system to help her best friend; Antonio Cipriano (“Jagged Little Pill” on Broadway) as Oren, a lovable but self-obsessed goofball with an encyclopedic knowledge of conspiracy theories that attempts to win back Tasha’s affections; Jordan Rodrigues (“Lady Bird”) as Ethan, Jess’ childhood best friend who has loved her since the day they met; Jake Austin Walker (“Rectify”) as Liam, a swoon-worthy struggling musician, with a permanent chip on his shoulder, who comes from a long line of treasure hunters; Catherine Zeta-Jones (“Chicago”) as Billie, a badass billionaire, black-market antiquities expert and treasure hunter who lives by her own code; and Lyndon Smith (“Parenthood”) as FBI Agent Ross, a dogged investigator who begins to realize there’s a greater conspiracy at hand.
Along with the teaser, National Treasure: Edge of History also revealed a behind-the-scenes look at the show:
The series will premiere exclusively on Disney+.
