The Disney+ reboot of National Treasure just got a big name added to the mix by way of Prodigal Son/ Wednesday co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones. Variety has just reported that jones will be playing Billie, “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.”
She’s joining a cast that already includes Lisette Alexis, Zuri Reed, Jordan Rodrigues, Antonio Cipriano, and Jake Austin Walker, and Lyndon Smith.
The new series is centered around Jess, “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.“
Zeta-Jones was last seen in the final season of the unfortunately canceled Prodigal Son on FOX and she’s next set to appear as Morticia Addams on the upcoming Addam’s Family Reboot, Wednesday which is being produced by Tim Burton (with Danny Elfman providing the music) over at Netflix.
National Treasure is set to begin production this month in Louisiana.
The new series is set for a two-episode premiere, June 4 on Disney+.
