It appears that the mysteries and conspiracies have not died down for the Gates family. National Treasure: Edge of History will find brand new characters in the same skin as Nicholas Cage’s character. The show is announced to have a similar storyline. So, what’s the catch? The indifferent tone blended with American history and the decades-old adventure.
The film franchise has successfully depicted its real stories with a perfect balance of thrillers and clues. The upcoming series will allow the viewers to figure out the puzzle and the characters.
The upcoming action adventure follows a very similar aesthetic to the previous films. The last movie from the National Treasure franchise was released in December 2007. Since then, a third film has been in talks.
However, it was in 2020 that the franchise got significant momentum. On the other hand, Nicholas Cage confirmed that he had not received a script in March 2022. But the producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, has not released a new statement confirming that Cage now has the hand. Thus, fans could soon be greeted with a piece of good news anytime now.
Cormac Wibberley and Marianne Wibberley created this series. It has Jerry Bruckheimer, Cormac Wibberley, Marianne Wibberley, Rick Muirragui, Jon Turteltaub, Jonathan Littman, KristieAnne Reed, and Mira Nair as executive producers.
Mira Nair will also be taking over the director’s chair for the adventure drama. It will be interesting to see who the makers have cast to take over the years-long legacy. So, when will the series be released? What is the plot? Here is everything about the upcoming release.
National Treasure Release Date
At the time of writing, there has been no update on when National Treasure: Edge of History will release. The series was in the works in early 2022. Thus, it could come out in late 2022 or early 2023.
The makers have kept their lips tied about the plot of the series and the release date. All in all, fans are expected to wait patiently as it is likely that the official date will be out in the news very soon. Moreover, we will update the release section once the information is out in the public domain.
National Treasure Cast
The makers greeted the fans by announcing the joining cast members for the film franchise’s newest venture. It is more likely that the series might also feature the cast from the original film. The stakes are very high for this one. The fans eagerly wait to see the makers showcase the new generation of characters bringing in the same aura as the 2004 original piece. So, the list of characters in National Treasure: Edge of History is as follows:

National Treasure Plot
A plot synopsis for National Treasure: Edge of History has not been out yet. However, there is no doubt that the series will continue the legacy of the famous film franchise. According to the makers, the show will have all the compelling elements in the films. Thus, the only difference would be the era of new characters.
Jess Morales is in the lead and will be seen solving puzzles and unveiling secrets about her family. The series could be steering towards the Mexican-American war as per the behind-the-scenes clip. However, fans hope to see the makers give more detailed and real-life history stories instead of made-up ones. There is a possibility that Mayan culture will be under the light.
National Treasure Trailer
An 18-second trailer was released on the official Youtube account of Disney + on July 22, 2022. The short clip featured the main lead, Lisette Alexis, as Jess Morales in focus. It has successfully garnered 268k+ views at the time of writing.
However, the top comments have not been in support, as it seems. Many fans are upset that Nicholas Cage will not be making a comeback as the film franchise feels empty without his presence. The release of the upcoming series might likely change the views of loyal fans. We believe that the makers have their fingers crossed for this adventure.
