D23 uncovers National Treasure: Edge Of History trailer

Well, the first two episodes of the new Disney+ series land on the streamer on December 14, and well, it looks like a National Treasure, sans the gonzo stylings of its star. However, this show has an equally bizarre plot. It follows the daughter of Ben Gates, who learns that, get this, everything she knew about her father was a lie. Gates, for his part, is technically dead at the beginning of the series. Although, they have a plan, apparently, to bring Gates back if Cage wants back in.

Here’s the synopsis:

National Treasure Edge of History” is an
expansion of the National Treasure movie franchise 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.
