National Treasure Disney+ series adds Jacob Vargas in recurring role

June 22, 2022 by Liam Waddington

Disney+ has announced that Jacob Vargas (Mr. Iglesias, Sons of Anarchy) has joined the cast of the upcoming National Treasure series in a “heavily recurring role.” Per Deadline, the actor will be playing the role of Rafael, who is described as a “rugged, treasure obsessed, adventurous soul with a good sense of humor.”

Vargas will star alongside lead actor Lisette Alexis, Lyndon Smith (Parenthood), Zuri Reed (Flatbush Misdemeanors), Jake Austin Walker (12 Mighty Orphans), Antonio Cipriano (Jagged Little Pill), Jordan Rodrigues (Light as a Feather), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Ocean’s Twelve) and Justin Bartha, who is returning as the fan-favourite character Riley Poole from the National Treasure film series.

The 10-episode series will serve as an expansion of the franchise rather than a reboot and will follow Jess, a young DREAMer, played by Alexis, as she searches for answers about her family, embarking on a brand new adventure to save a lost Pan-American treasure. Jess is described as brilliant, resourceful, and always on the search for a good mystery, and will have to use her natural talent for solving puzzles to race against time to uncover her own buried history.
