The Mystery of the Templars becomes a Disney+ series | From 14 December

Some of you may remember the movie The Mystery of the Templars with Nicolas Cage and Diane Krueger, which in 2004 enjoyed moderate success at the box office. It’s recent news that the story will continue but this time the production will take the form of a TV series to be offered on Disney +, and this will happen very soon! The new original Disney+ series, The Mystery of the Templars will debut on December 14 on the streaming platform with the first two episodes, and there will be none other than Jerry Bruckheimer himself, also engaged in the role of executive producer. The first indications had emerged last year, when the filming of the first season had started.

The Disney Branded Television series is produced by ABC Signature for Disney+ and will continue every Wednesday with a new episode on a weekly basis. Let’s start with the synopsis and then we see the first photos from the set, among which we will also see some old acquaintances already present in the two films.

Jess Valenzuela’s (Lisette Olivera) life is turned upside down when an enigmatic stranger gives her a lead to an age-old treasure that may be connected to her long-dead father. Jess has a knack for solving puzzles and her skills are put to the test when she and her friends follow a series of clues hidden in American artifacts and monuments. But can Jess outwit a black market antiquities dealer in a race to find the greatest lost treasure in history and uncover the truth about her family’s past?

In addition to Lisette Olivera, the series stars Zuri Reed (Flatbush Misdemeanors) as Tasha, Jess’s friend who joins the treasure hunt. Anthony Cyprian (Jagged Little Pill on Broadway) plays Oren, a likeable but self-absorbed goofball with an encyclopedic knowledge of conspiracy theories, intent on winning back Tasha’s affections. Jordan Rodrigues (Lady Bird) occupies the role of Ethan, Jess’s childhood best friend, with whom he has been secretly in love ever since they met. Then there’s Jake Austin Walker (Rectify) as Liam, a struggling musician everyone likes, always with a poisoned tooth, who comes from a long line of treasure hunters, and Lyndon Smith (Parenthood) as FBI Agent Ross, an investigator obstinate who becomes aware of the conspiracy in action.

Finally two very important actors such as Catherine Zeta-Jones as Billie, a badass billionaire, antiquities expert on the black market and treasure hunter who lives by her own code, e Harvey Keitel who played Peter Sadusky in the de film franchise The Mystery of the Templarspresent as a guest star in the same role.

Jerry Bruckheimer, Cormac and Marianne Wibberley, Jonathan Littman and KristieAnne Reed are executive producers on the series along with Rick Muirragui, who is also a writer. Jon Turteltaub is also executive producer. Mira Nair is a director and executive producer.

At the moment no trailer has been released, so we will have to wait a few more days to see something more concrete, but we’ll talk about it again very soon.
