Not only are we getting a new National Treasure film, but a television series is heading to Disney+ as well, it’s been revealed.
It’s always been a bit of a surprise that a third National Treasure film never happened, in spite of the interest of most of the key creatives.

Nicolas Cage isn’t shy of taking on a few movies, either.

And now, chatting to Collider, Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed not just a third film, but a planned television series for Disney+ too.
“We’re certainly working on one for streaming and we’re working on one for the big screen”, he said.
“Hopefully, they’ll both come together and we’ll bring you another National Treasure, but they’re both very active”.
He added that “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”.
