National Treasure: Edge of History season 1 — release date, cast, trailer and everything we know

It’s a whole new world as a group of young people discover the many secrets hidden in plain sight in National Treasure: Edge of History. The new Disney Plus series brings the National Treasure franchise back to life with a new cast and some familiar faces.

In 2004, the first National Treasure movie starred Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha and Harvey Keitel. The movie was a huge box office success that inspired a sequel in 2007. There were plans for another movie, but those plans were placed on hold. Until now.

With National Treasure: Edge of History, the franchise gets a burst of new energy as 22-year-old dreamer Jess discovers that there are secrets linking her family to a hidden treasure. While she’s looking for answers, the bad guys are looking for the gold and they won’t stop until they get what they want.
