On Thursday at San Diego Comic-Con, Disney+ released the first teaser trailer for the new series, giving fans of the 2000s National Treasure movies starring Nicolas Cage their first glimpse at new lead character Jess, played by newcomer Lisette Olivera.
The trailer, which runs for only 17 seconds, features Jess' shadow as she enters a room and approaches a bulletin filled with maps and other notes before a quick succession of visuals gives way to the reveal of Jess' face.
A release date was not provided, but Disney noted that the series would be "streaming soon".
Disney+ also announced that actor Harvey Keitel will reprise his role as FBI agent Peter Sadusky from the original films in a guest role on the 10-episode series, according to Deadline.

"What's wonderful about the National Treasure movies and now TV show is that it uses American history as a jumping off point for exciting treasure hunts," Bartha said in a behind-the-scenes featurette for the new series, released by Disney+ Thursday.
"It's a different world now, exploring American history was a lot different 20 years ago, and I was a young guy on set [at that time]," Bartha added.

In National Treasure: Edge of History, Jess, a 23-year-old DREAMer, sets off on a "Pan-American treasure adventure," Olivera said in the new behind-the-scenes featurette. The adventure promises to uncover secrets about her family's "mysterious past," and fittingly save a lost treasure along the way, reads a synopsis per Deadline.
Beyond Olivera, Zuri Reed stars as Tasha, Jess' best friend; Antonio Cipriano plays Oren, Tasha's love interest; Jordan Rodrigues portrays Ethan, Jess' childhood friend and love interest; and Jake Austin Walker plays Liam, a musician with treasure hunting in his familial background, according to Deadline.

Catherine Zeta-Jones also appears in the series as villain Billie Pierce, who the 52-year-old actress described as a "black market antiquity dealer" who plays a "cat-and-mouse" game with Jess as the show's mystery unfolds, according to the behind-the-scenes featurette.
Jon Turtletaub, who directed and produced the National Treasure movies, is also an executive producer on the new show, according to Deadline. The series is produced by ABC Signature and executive produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Cormac and Marianne Wibberly, who co-wrote the original National Treasure films.
While it was reported in 2020 that a third National Treasure movie was in the works at Disney, Cage noted in an April interview with Comicbook.com that "[Disney's] priority was a TV show," at this point in time.
