Fans of “The Treasure of the Knights Templar” (or “National Treasure”, as the film is originally called) and the sequel “The Legacy of the Secret Book” are still hoping for a repeatedly discussed third part of the treasure hunter films with Nicolas Cage. Even 15 years after part 2, it’s still not completely off the table, with “National Treasure: Edge Of History” we can now expect a series offshoot on Disney +, unfortunately without a cage – at least for the time being.
However, the series is set in the same world as the films. This is also made clear by the first trailer, in which there is a reunion with Riley Poole, the friend of Nicolas Cage’s character played by “Hangover” star Justin Bartha, who now hosts a podcast. And that’s not all: Ex-FBI agent and Freemason Peter Sadusky (Harvey Keitel) is also part of the party again and apparently takes the new main character under his wing.
This is the young Jess Morales (Lisette Alexis), who also embarks on a search for a legendary treasure and on top of that tries to decipher her own mysterious past. She soon clashes with the ruthless billionaire Billie Pearce (Catherine Zeta-Jones). For the further course of the series it is also at least planned that Jess will also meet Ben Gates, played by Nicolas Cage, who is something of a treasure hunter in the world of “Edge Of History”.Rockstar is. But that probably won’t happen in the first season.

It remains to be seen whether Nicolas Cage will one day actually stop by the “Legacy of the Knights Templar” series (should it be extended beyond the first season) or whether his Ben Gates will celebrate a screen comeback in “National Treasure 3”. . Until then, we can pass the time with the first season of the streaming offshoot at the end of the year: National Treasure: Edge Of History premieres worldwide on Disney+ on December 14, 2022.
