*We caught up with the young stars of “National Treasure: Edge of History” which is now streaming on Disney+.
The series is a spinoff of the beloved film franchise that stars Nicolas Cage. Lisette Olivera leads the cast in Edge of History as “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,” per the series synopsis.
Per the full official synopsis: Jess Valenzuela’s (Oliveria) life is turned upside down when an enigmatic stranger gives her a clue to a centuries-old treasure that might be connected to her long-dead father. Jess has a knack for solving puzzles, and her skills are put to the test as she and her friends follow a series of clues hidden in American artifacts and landmarks. 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?
In the clip above, Olivera tells EUR’s Ny MaGee what she’s most excited about longtime “National Treasure” fans and newcomers to the franchise experiencing with the new Disney+ show.
