Catherine Zeta-Jones to star in National Treasure Disney+ series.
Catherine Zeta-Jones will play a leading series regular role in the Disney+ original series National Treasure. The live-action series is an expansion of the National Treasure movie franchise. It is centered on a young heroine, Jess (Lisette Alexis), a brilliant and resourceful DREAMer. She embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to uncover the truth about her family’s mysterious past and save a lost Pan-American treasure.
Production will begin this month in Baton Rouge.
Zeta- Jones will portray Billie. She is a badass billionaire, black-market antiquities expert, and treasure hunter who lives by her own code. She transformed herself from a penniless orphan to a shrewd, stylish businesswoman and adventurer. Billie’s used to getting what she wants—and she wants the Pan-American treasure. But not just for the money. This treasure has deeper stakes for her.
The series also stars Zuri Reed (“Flatbush Misdemeanors”) as Tasha, Jordan Rodrigues as Ethan (“Lady Bird”), Antonio Cipriano as Oren (“Jagged Little Pill” on Broadway”), and Jake Austin Walker (“Rectify”) as Liam – Jess’ friends whom she recruits to help uncover the truth about her parents and their connection to the treasure. In addition, Lyndon Smith (“Parenthood”) stars as FBI Agent Ross, who assists in the quest.
