Deadline

The long-gestating series based on the hit movie franchise will explore "the timely issues of identity, community, historical authorship and patriotism, told from the point of view of Jess Morales, a twenty-year-old DREAMer who, with her diverse group of friends, sets off on the adventure of a lifetime to uncover her mysterious family history and recover lost treasure," according to Deadline. "Jess Morales is taking the torch from Benjamin Gates, the National Treasure films’ protagonist played by Nicolas Cage." Original National Treasure writers Marianne and Cormac Wibberley are on board for the reboot, as well as executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
