National Treasure has come to an end on Disney+. The streaming service has cancelled the adventure series National Treasure: Edge of History after just one season, per Deadline.
Starring Lisette Alexis, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Zuri Reed, Jordan Rodrigues, Antonio Cipriano, and Jake Austin Walker, the series is a continuation of the popular National Treasure film franchise. Justin Bartha and Harvey Keitel reprise their roles from the films.
The series follows Jess (Alexis), a DREAMer in Baton Rouge, who discovers that her deceased father was part of a secret network of treasure protectors. She and her friends embark on the adventure of a lifetime to uncover the truth about the past and save a lost Pan-American treasure.
The series launched in December and ran for 10 episodes. The finale was released in February. Considering the popularity of the franchise, the series was likely cancelled because viewership didn’t live up to the streaming service’s expectations.
Disney+ has cancelled a number of its series after one or two seasons, including Big Shot, Diary of a Future President, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and Turner & Hooch. All are unrelated to the Star Wars or Marvel properties.
What do you think? Are you disappointed by this cancellation? Did you want to see a second season of National Treasure on Disney+?
That’s unfortunate. The show was fun. Hopefully they end up making a National Treasure 3 and find a way to make use of some of the new characters.
to bad, while the show had problems, acting mainly, it was enjoyable, and i looked forward to seeing more, i will miss it, HOPEFULLY , they do another movie with nick cage and the original cast, even for the streaming network, id not only watch it, but id buy the bluray disc as well.
I’m disappointed… I was looking forward to seeing it continue… But that said they totally blew it… Catherine Zeta-Jones character was completely annoying…. Too much woke crap… No Nicholas Cage, not enough Justin Bartha… It didn’t connect to the movies at all…. It could have been called “in search of”….”or on the hunt” or whatever and nobody would have known the difference or had many clues that it connected to a couple movies from the past.
Like most Disney shows, they had a cast that is too young and annoying to carry a series. Same problem with Netflix.
That sucks. I liked it. It had decent viewership. I Wonder why it won’t be back?
