Outer Banks is considered by so many as one of the most fun teen Netflix originals, and they are correct. Created by Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke, the series has something for everyone from romance to teen drama and from adventure to action, and after Season 3 the Netflix series has proven to be a big project for the streamer. So, if you loved the romance, friendships, adventure, and a ton of teen drama in Outer Banks here are some similar shows you should check out while waiting for Season 4.

Surviving Summer is an Australian teen drama series created by Joanna Werner and Josh Mapleston. The Netflix series follows Summer Torres, a rebellious teenage girl as she is expelled from her school in Brooklyn, New York, and moves to Australia where she quickly gets into surfing and becomes a part of a surfing group.

After the successful run of Video Game High School, the creators behind the web-series are ready to add "filmmaker" to their stacked resume. Matthew Arnold and Freddie Wong have continued to join forces through their Youtube Channel, RocketJump, and their hit podcast Dungeons and Daddies. Years after experimenting with VFX and delivering content through various mediums, Arnold and Wong are now promoting their directorial debut, We're All Gonna Die. The indie film, which stars Jordan Rodrigues and Ashly Burch, follows a beekeeper overcoming grief and an emotionally distraught Emt as they go on a road trip together to retrieve their belongings, which are being transported across the country by an alien "spike" that the world has gotten used to.

A sci-fi road trip steeped unevenly in grief, “We’re All Gonna Die” introduces its concept in exciting fashion before pushing it far into the background. Its lead performances are occasionally powerful, but writer-directors Freddie Wong and Matthew Arnold — of web-based studio RocketJump — struggle to keep their subject matter sincere, resulting in tonal oddities.

An enormous alien “spike” crashes down on Earth and begins teleporting between locations, a premise the movie establishes deftly through news and social media clips. Twelve years and nearly 1500 “jumps” later — setting the movie somewhere in 2036, though technology has seemingly come to a standstill — mass death and casualty have run so rampant that they’ve become entirely commonplace.

As beekeeper Thalia (Ashly Burch) goes about her day, her parents and in-laws gather to mourn her departed husband and daughter, a loss she seems to ignore, letting the weeds around their tombstones run wild with neglect. As the...

The series boasted a heavyweight cast, including Hollywood veterans like Justin Bartha and Harvey Keitel. The series also starred several actors, including Zuri Reed, Jake Austin Walker, Antonio Cipriano, Jordan Rodrigues, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

“Edge of History” was missing the pivotal presence of Cage, but the creators, the Wibberleys, were hoping to bolster many more seasons which would have eventually featured the iconic actor.

Disney+ is calling off the hunt for more treasure.

The streamer has canceled its series National Treasure: Edge of History after a single season. The news comes more than two months after the 10-episode series wrapped in early February.

The show premiered in December 2022. Per usual with streaming series, detailed viewing figures aren’t available for Edge of History. It made Nielsen’s streaming rankings once during its run, tying for ninth place among original series for the week of Jan. 16-22. (It’s one of only two Disney+ original series not related to Marvel or Star Wars to make the rankings; The Santa Clauses is the other.)

“National Treasure: Edge of History” has been canceled at Disney+ after one season, Variety has confirmed.

Based on the “National Treasure” film franchise, Disney’s TV adaptation followed treasure hunter Jess Venezuela. After a stranger gives her a tip about a centuries-old treasure possibly connected to her father, she and her friends set out on the hunt. Lisette Olivera, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Zuri Reed, Antonio Cipriano, Jordan Rodrigues, Jake Austin Walker, and Lyndon Smith were among the cast.

In the season one finale, which aired in February, co-creators Marianne and Cormac Wibberley (who also wrote the first two films) closed the first installment unveiling a “National Treasure” twist. FBI Agent Hendricks (Armando Riesco) — who appeared in both “National Treasure” films and recurred on the series — revealed himself to be the Cras Est Nostrum’s Salazar, a generational title for wizard behind the curtain and had been secretly sabotaging Billie’s (Zeta-Jones) Treasure Destoyer hunts.

The treasure hunt is over.

Disney+ has cancelled National Treasure: Edge of History after a single season, according to our sister site Deadline. The news comes two months after the release of the Season 1 finale, which dropped Feb. 8.

Jacob Vargas, Lisette Olivera, and Jake Austin Walker in Disney+’s ‘National Treasure: Edge of History’ episode 10

The season one finale of Disney+’s National Treasure: Edge of History ties up all the treasure-hunting loose ends while dangling the possibility of where season two could go if the streaming service picks up the drama. Episode 10, “Treasure Protectors,” picks up the action right where episode nine ended, with Agent Hendricks (Armando Riesco) having just stabbed Agent Ross (Lyndon Smith) with a sword. We, the audience, now know he’s Salazar – the man we’ve heard about all season but whose identity has just been revealed.

When Billie (Catherine Zetta-Jones) questions Salazar about why he’s there, Rafael (Jacob Vargas) chimes in and reminds her that Salazar is the one who killed her brother. But, of course, Salazar claims Rafael is a liar.

After loading the boat, they set off to find the treasure.

Jacob Vargas and Lisette Olivera in Disney+’s ‘National Treasure: Edge of History’ episode 9

Episode nine of Disney+’s National Treasure: Edge of History is jam-packed with surprises, so buckle in. The episode kicks off with Jess (Lisette Olivera) and her father, Rafael (Jacob Vargas), being led through a private airport by Billie (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and her team. Rafael has a plan but Jess has one too, of course, and lets him know she has Ethan’s phone.

Before boarding the private plane, Billie reminds them that she heard everything and wants Rafael’s journal. She orders Kacey (Breeda Wool) to search Jess.

Elsewhere, Oren (Antonio Cipriano) is currently freaking out. He and Liam (Jake Austin Walker) went to Agent Ross (Lyndon Smith) and told her about Myles – his grandpa’s old nurse – being murdered. When Agent Ross checks out the scene, Myles’s body is gone and the room’s clean.

Lisette Olivera, Zuri Reed, and Jordan Rodrigues in Disney+’s ‘National Treasure: Edge of History’ episode 8

With just two episodes left in season one of Disney+’s National Treasure: Edge of History, things are really heating up. Episode seven ended with Jess concluding she needs to break her father out of a prison in Mexico. Episode eight picks up with Jess’s dad, Rafael (Jacob Vargas), in for a shock when he sees Billie (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has come to visit him.

Billie accuses him of killing her brother and Rafael denies it, insisting it was Salazar who killed her brother. Billie demands the last relic or else she’s going after Jess. “You’re about to find out how it feels to lose the person you love more than anything else in the world,” warns Billie.

Oren (Antonio Cipriano) desperately tries to talk Jess (Lisette Olivera) out of breaking her father out of prison.

Screen Rant is excited to present an exclusive clip from the eighth episode of National Treasure: Edge of History, "Family Tree." Set in the same world that has treasure maps on the back of the Declaration of Independence National Treasure: Edge of History follows Jess (Lisette Olivera), a brilliant puzzle solver who dreams of becoming an FBI agent. However, when she meets former FBI Agent Peter Sadusky, everything she thought she knew about her family changes. When she discovers her parents were trying to prove the existence of and protect a lost treasure, she follows the clues to hopefully discover the truth about her family and the treasure.

Jess is joined by her friends as they race against the rich and powerful Billie (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a ruthless antiquities dealer who has a personal stake in finding the treasure. In the seventh episode, "Point Of No Return," Jess and her friends follow the clues to Mexico,...

Disney+’s National Treasure: Edge of History episode seven is filled with one shocking twist after another, beginning with a fake tape implicating Jess in Sadusky’s murder. Agent Ross (Lyndon Smith) and her boss, Agent Hendricks (Armando Riesco), seem to believe the recording is real, and Hendricks instructs Ross to get a warrant for Jess’s arrest.

Episode six found Jess (Lisette Olivera) convinced she needed to travel to Mexico to talk to Salazar about the third relic. Tasha (Zuri Reed) and Oren (Antonio Cipriano) were equally convinced she’d never be able to return to the States if she left the country. That conversation continues in episode seven, and Tasha and Oren decide that if they can’t talk her out of it, they’ll go with her.

Jess thinks that she and...

We’re halfway through the first season of National Treasure: Edge of History and the action is really heating up. Episode six, “Frenemies,” picks up right where episode five ended as Jess (Lisette Olivera) hops into a car with Billie (Catherine Zeta-Jones) to avoid the police. Billie claims she knew Rafael (Jess’s dad) and, of course, that piques Jess’s interest.

Billie shows her a medallion – the same one that Jess has – and claims to not only be a daughter of the Plumed Serpent but also insists they’re on the same side.

After Jess texts her friends to assure them she’s fine, she agrees to go to dinner with Billie. Billie shows Jess the medallion again and shows her a picture of her father, Rafael, with another man. Billie explains that the man in the photo is her brother Sebastian,...

Disney+’s National Treasure: Edge of History episode five catches up with Billie (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who’s busy working with her lackeys to try and figure out what Elvis’s riddle means. Dario (Darri Ingolfsson) thinks he figured it out with his high-tech programs, but Billie knocks his theory out of the running. She believes “twin serpents” doesn’t refer to a “tail” but instead is about a “tale.”

Billie doesn’t know it, but that’s also what Jess latched onto.

Meanwhile, Jess (Lisette Olivera) is having second thoughts about Liam being the mole. However, Tasha (Zuri Reed) is certain he’s Billie’s mole and attempts to convince Jess of that as she sweeps their apartment for bugs. Liam’s ears must be ringing because just then he sends a text to Jess asking her if...

The action picks up with Jess (Lisette Olivera) deep in thought trying to decipher the message she heard from none other than Elvis Presley (in episode three) as Disney+’s National Treasure: Edge of History episode four begins. A knock at the door interrupts her concentration, and it turns out that Ethan’s apologizing via cupcakes.

Oren (Antonio Cipriano) is deep in his own investigation and asks Ethan (Jordan Rodrigues) if he wants to help. It’s a no-go for Ethan; he’d rather spend time with his new girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Jess is getting frustrated that she can’t figure out Elvis’s riddle. Tasha (Zuri Reed) is there helping by talking her through it.

Elsewhere, a familiar face is getting off a private jet. Riley Poole (Justin Bartha), who played a key role alongside...

Disney+’s National Treasure: Edge of History episode two ended with a very shocked and confused Jess (Lisette Olivera) learning her mother was the author of an unpublished academic paper that provided Liam’s (Jake Austin Walker) dad with information on rare artifacts. Episode three opens with Jess confirming she now believes her mom knew about the treasure.

Jess, Tasha (Zuri Reed), and the gang’s newest member, Liam, show up at Ethan’s place to use Oren’s (Antonio Cipriano) old camcorder. They watch a tape and Jess acts as interpreter, explaining her mom is delivering a lecture about women fleeing as war broke out. They brought with them sacred objects so their history would be preserved.

One brave woman, Malinche, risked her life to save the treasure from the Conquistadors.

Billie (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has kidnapped Oren (Antonio Cipriano), and when he hears Jess’s voice he tries to leave. Tasha (Zuri Reed) joins the conversation and warns Billie she’s going to hack her devices, but Billie is one step ahead of her and has put a firewall on Tasha’s laptop. They’re running out of options and Jess (Lisette Olivera) is forced into agreeing to give Billie the relic in exchange for Oren.

Jess convinces Billie to agree to meet at the USS Kidd Museum and tells Tasha she chose the location because military police are assigned there. Billie won’t be able to try anything.

When Disney said a group of fresh faces was picking up the torch for Jon Turteltaub’s National Treasure franchise, fans couldn’t believe what they were hearing. In National Treasure: Edge of History, an adventurous and puzzle-savvy woman named Jess (Lisette Olivera) discovers her family’s secret past and the villains willing to kill for it. Alongside her misfit friends, Jess unravels a mystery taking her from escape rooms to the halls of legends and beyond.

We had the pleasure of interviewing the star of National Treasure: Edge of History, Lisette Olivera, in addition to her co-stars Zuri Reed, Lyndon Smith, Jordan Rodrigues, Antonio Cipriano, and Jake Austin Walker. Speaking with the cast, we discuss escape room strategies, taking the franchise to new places, and the origins of their love for puzzles and adventure.

National Treasure: Edge of History is streaming exclusively on Disney+, with new episodes arriving weekly.

Lisette Olivera and Harvey Keitel in ‘National Treasure: Edge of History’ episode 1 (Disney/Brian Roedel)

Disney+’s National Treasure: Edge of History season one episode one, “I’m a Ghost,” introduces the key players in this series spinoff of the popular National Treasure films. But before we meet the new batch of treasure hunters, we pop back in time to 2001.

National Treasure‘s Harvey Keitel reprises his role as Peter Sadusky and is shown recording a message, instructing whoever he’s making it for to only listen to the tape when no one’s around.

Speaking into the recorder, Peter asks if they remember the stories he used to tell them about gold and libraries from Emperor Montezuma’s palaces. We’re treated to a reenactment of a battle that took place in 1519 as Peter describes what went down. Although many people assumed the treasure was a myth, Peter reveals...

The first two episodes of National Treasure: Edge of History are currently available to stream on Disney+ and are a must-watch for fans of the National Treasure movie franchise. Taking place in the same universe as the original films, the series stars Lisette Olivera as 22-year-old Jess Valenzuela. Jess' knack for solving puzzles and impressive attention to detail whisk her into a dangerous hunt for history's long-lost treasure, and it doesn't take long for her group of friends to get caught in the crossfire.

Jordan Rodrigues plays the role of Ethan, Jess' childhood friend who's determined to keep her safe. He has worked on projects such as The Fosters and Light as a Feather, and recently wrapped the indie film Left With Only Rain. Meanwhile, Jake Austin Walker plays Liam, a newcomer to the group, and Antonio Cipriano plays Oren, who is fresh out of a long-term relationship with Jess' best friend.

“National Treasure: Edge of History” is a treat for the fans of the original Nicholas Cage film series. It’s a bona-fide thriller that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. The series takes its viewers on quest anyone with love for history to jump on into. But “Edge of History” comes with an added advantage – “It is about a non-white America. It is about an America that is now what it is,” says Mira Nair, an Executive Producer on the show. Speaking exclusively to Et Canada, Nair explains that the show goes beyond quintessential America and its history and blurs boundaries and ethnicities.

“It (“National Treasure: Edge of History”) is the story of a Mexican girl who was not documented and can completely uncover (mysteries)… It’s about intelligence, really, which I love. The fact that it was really a non-white universe – her friends, who are her family,...

National Treasure: Edge of History introduces Antonio Cipriano as Oren Bradley, one of a new generation of treasure hunters. Set in the same universe, 15 years after the National Treasure movies starring Nicolas Cage, Disney+'s new TV series has the same brand of global adventure that made the films wildly popular.

Oren joins Jess Valenzuela (Lisette Olivera) in a hunt for an ancient treasure tied to the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas. Of course, treasure hunting is no picnic for Jess, Oren, and their friends, Liam (Jake Austin Walker), Tasha (Zuri Reed), and Ethan (Jordan Rodrigues). A rival faction led by Billie Pearce (Catherine Zeta-Jones) also wants the hidden prize and riches.

The joy of Disney’s “National Treasure” franchise lies in its precise balance of reverence and irreverence. For all the choreographed mayhem, cheeky ahistoricity, and gross mishandling of antiquities, the beloved 2004 film and its 2007 sequel are fundamentally in awe of history, respectful of legacy, and devoted to family.

Despite its sturdy plot mechanics, broad audience appeal and evergreen themes, the “National Treasure” franchise is lacking in currency. Fifteen years have passed since the last entry, a span of years in which the holiday tentpole has evolved, as has Nicolas Cage, who is now more drawn to auteurist grindhouse indies than Jerry Bruckheimer blockbusters. With the increasingly narrow odds of a film to complete a trilogy, the only way to save “National Treasure” from becoming a dusty relic itself was to detonate it and build something new from the ruins.

Creators Cormac and Marianne Wibberley are attempting to do just that...

“You notice things no one else would notice” is a compliment paid more than once to Jess (Lisette Olivera), the heroine of National Treasure: Edge of History. It’s ostensibly what makes her the ideal spiritual successor to Ben Franklin Gates — the protagonist played in the franchise’s two previous big-screen entries by Nicolas Cage, who does not appear here.

In practice, though, it feels more like the show’s way of insisting that Jess is more interesting than the script actually allows her to be, and its excuse for papering over the carelessness of its mysteries. Jess may have an eye for detail, but her Disney+ series has no patience for them — it’s less an intricately crafted puzzle than a jumble of half-broken odds and ends.

But can Jess outsmart a black-market antiquities dealer in a race to find history’s greatest lost treasure and unbury the truth about her family’s past?

National Treasure: Edge of History doesn’t have Nicolas Cage‘s gravely voice declaring he’s “going to steal the Declaration of Independence,” but it does bring fans back into the familiar fold of the franchise’s treasure hunting.

There were a lot of trailers revealed at the recent D23 Expo, but one we missed was the new trailer for National Treasure: Edge of History. The upcoming Disney+ spinoff of the big screen franchise may be lacking Nicolas Cage, but it does look like it will offer up the same type of globe-trotting treasure hunts audiences loved in the first two movies.

National Treasure: Edge of History focuses on a young heroine, Jess (Lisette Olivera), a brilliant and resourceful DREAMer who embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to uncover the truth about her family’s mysterious past and save a lost Pan-American treasure. Justin Bartha will also be reprising his character of Riley Poole in a guest-starring role. Poole appeared in the two National Treasure movies as a computer expert and a friend to Nicolas Cage’s Benjamin Gates. Also returning is Harvey Keitel as FBI Special Agent Peter Sadusky,...

"What if I told you everything you know about your Dad is a lie?" Disney has revealed a full official trailer for National Treasure: Edge of History - a new series continuing the two beloved National Treasure movies of 2004 & 2007. I'm big fans of both - which had Nicolas Cage as treasure hunter Benjamin Gates, who isn't back for this one. The new series instead is 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 find lost treasure. Lisette Olivera stars as Jess, with a cast including Lyndon Smith, Zuri Reed, Jake Austin Walker, Antonio Cipriano, Jordan Rodrigues as Ethan, plus Justin Bartha & Harvey Keitel from the films. Catherine Zeta-Jones also stars as the villain, a badass billionaire, black-market antiquities expert. This still looks like a...

The official trailer for Disney+’s National Treasure: Edge of History series begins with Sadusky (Harvey Keitel), a familiar face from the National Treasure films, passing along a clue to a treasure of utmost importance. The tie-in to the Nicolas Cage-led action-adventure films doesn’t stop there as the series was created by Cormac Wibberley and Marianne Wibberley, screenwriters of National Treasure (2004) and National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007).

The official trailer debuted during the D23 Expo 2022 accompanied by the announcement the series will premiere on December 14, 2022.

The Wibberleys and Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, Jon Turteltaub, and KristieAnne Reed executive produce. Writer Rick Muirragui and director Mira Nair also executive produce.

Harvey Keitel and Justin Bartha are back to help a new generation of adventurers in "National Treasure: Edge of History." The Disney+ series is set to debut in December, and the first trailer was unveiled at D23 Expo this weekend. While it doesn't look too much like the two movies that came before it, it's still a lot going for it -- like Catherine Zeta-Jones in a severe white-blonde wig talking about "the Daughters of the Plume Serpent."

The series will follow a young treasure hunter, Jess (Lisette Alexis), whom the trailer shows was left some sort of secret key or clue in the form of her late father's necklace. The action kicks off immediately in the promo, which you can check out below:

Could Cage Return?

If you missed "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" or don't remember the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced 2000s franchise well, it's worth noting that Keitel plays Peter Sadusky,...

It's been over a decade since Nicolas Cage last graced screens as "National Treasure"'s Declaration of Independence-stealing, president-kidnapping Benjamin Franklin Gates, but more thrill-seeking adventures are coming our way - this time, in the form of a new TV series! On Sept. 10, Disney+ unveiled the first full-length trailer for "National Treasure: Edge of History," and the show looks action-packed - plus, it includes plenty of nods to the original franchise.

While Cage isn't expected to appear in the series, the presence of his character, Ben Gates, is felt thanks to a fun Easter egg. In one scene from the trailer, a character discovers Benjamin Franklin's glasses - the same glasses Ben used in the 2004 "National Treasure." Additionally, the series will see Justin Bartha reprising the role of Riley.

At the heart of the new series is Lisette Olivera, who plays Jess, a young woman with a personal connection to...

National Treasure will make its small screen debut this December.

The series will get underway with a two-episode launch on December 14.

Lisette Alexis, Zuri Reed, Jordan Rodrigues, Antonio Cipriano, Jake Austin Walker, and Lyndon Smith are set as series regulars.

The series is described as an expansion of the National Treasure movie franchise told from the point of view of a young heroine, Jess (Lisette Olivera), a brilliant and resourceful DREAMer in search of answers about her family -- who embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to uncover the truth about the past and save a lost Pan-American treasure.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is also locked in for an appearance as Billie, a badass billionaire with an eye for black-market antiques.

She follows her own code, finding herself in an exciting race to find the Pan-American treasure.

Ready to embark on a treasure hunt?

“National Treasure: Edge of History,” a spin-off of the popular adventure movies, is hitting Disney+ soon and ahead of the two-episode premiere event, a brand-new trailer has been uncovered from the sands of time. (It was actually just released online.) And it looks like a lot of puzzle-solving fun.

According to the official press release, “National Treasure: Edge of History” is “told from the point of view of a young heroine, Jess – a brilliant and resourceful DREAMer in search of answers about her family – who embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to uncover the truth about the past and save a lost Pan-American treasure.” The trailer shows our hero (Lisette Olivera) getting some tips from Harvey Keitel, returning to the franchise and facing off against a very blonde, very bad Catherine Zeta-Jones.
