Disney+ developing a National Treasure TV series

Collider

Mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells Collider that not only is a third film in the National Treasure franchise in the works, but so is a Disney+ TV series with a new, younger cast. "We’re certainly working on one (National Treasure) for streaming and we’re working on one for the big screen," says Bruckheimer. "Hopefully, they’ll both come together and we’ll bring you another National Treasure, but they’re both very active….The one for Disney+ is a much younger cast. It’s the same concept but a young cast. The one for theatrical would be the same cast.” The first two National Treasure movies, premiering in 2004 and 2007, starred Nicolas Cage as historian and occasional heist mastermind Benjamin Franklin Gates. The big question is: Would a National Treasure TV series work without Cage?
