The cast of National Treasure: Edge of History is ready to take on the challenge of continuing the National History tradition.

The cast is led by Lisette Olivera, who plays Jess Valenzuela, a brilliant and resourceful young DREAMer who wants to learn more about her family history. She is joined by Zuri Reed as Tasha, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Billie, and Antonio Cipriano as Oren. The cast also includes Jordan Rodrigues as Ethan, Jake Austin Walker as Liam, and Lyndon Smith, who plays the role of Agent Ross.

Two cast members from previous films in the franchise will reprise their roles in National Treasure: Edge of History. Justin Bartha, who plays Riley Poole, and Harvey Keitel, who plays FBI Agent Peter Sadusky, will both appear in the series' first season.

Will Nicolas Cage Reprise his role as Ben Gates?

It seems Nicolas Cage will not be reprising his role as Benjamin Franklin Gates in National Treasure: Edge of History, but we are still hoping for a cameo.

Ben Gates was the main character in the first film in the National Treasure franchise. Gates was an American History expert who teamed up with Riley Pool and Abigail Chase (played by Diane Kruger) to find some of the most important treasures lost in time.

Jess with Jake Austin Walker as Liam

The Disney+ original series is about two young treasure hunters, Jess Valenzuela and Billie Pearce, looking for three mysterious boxes holding clues to find the hidden treasure Jess' dad told her about many years before. Jess is attached to the treasure because she believes it will teach her more about her family and history.

Based on what we know, the series will draw inspiration from the Mexican-American wars with influences from the Mayan culture. The entire series is meant to expand on the premise of the first two films.

The previous moves in the National Treasure franchise focused on South American history and the stories behind the treasures allegedly lost through time.

Nicolas Cage

National Treasure: Edge of History tethered between being a good spin-off series and being a less-than-stellar show that needs a little bump to live up to the main franchise.

The show scored 37% on the Tomatometer and 39% on the Audience Score in Rotten Tomato, gaining mixed reviews from critics on the site. One critic praised the cleverness of the series:

Half the fun of this genre is in the sheer satisfaction to be gleaned by watching someone figure out seemingly impossible things and making it seem as easy as pie. That’s something that “Edge of History” offers by the bucketful.
Kayleigh Donaldson

However, more critics remained unimpressed:


The action advances through coincidences that are too coincidental—and the puzzles, which form the core of the film franchise, seem to be afterthoughts. Some of the characters’ actions feel contrived or simply don’t make sense.
Collin Garbarino

Will There Be a National Treasure: Edge of History Season 2?

The future of National Treasure: Edge of History seems bleak, with no news of a second season so far.
