Lisette Alexis is stepping into Nicolas Cage's shoes for the ‘National Treasure’ TV show

In the upcoming Disney+ series, based on the Nicolas Cage-led movie franchise, Alexis plays Jess, a young Latina heroine that loves a good mystery and has a knack for solving puzzles. Deadline reports that similar to the original films, Jess will uncover a buried treasure of her own, but with a new fresh twist as she discovers the truth about her parents and fights to save a lost Pan-American treasure. Though this is Alexis' first series, it isn't her first time on camera. As indie movie buffs may know, Alexis starred in the Tribeca Film Festival film selection, We Need To Do Something, alongside Sierra McCormick earlier this year. So, when exactly can we expect the new National Treasure project? The production is set to start in early 2022. The creative minds behind the 2004 hit film, including producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Jon Turteltaub and writers Marianne and Cormac Wibberley, are leading this new show for Disney+. As for Cage's character? No word on whether he'll be in the new series.
