National Treasure Watch Order (2026)

National Treasure · Updated Sep 16, 2026

Two films, a direct sequel, straight through. A third film exists in TMDB as an unreleased, undated entry and is excluded here per our standing rule of not listing TBA titles as if they were watchable. A 2022 Disney+ series set in the same universe follows new characters, not Ben Gates' crew.

The films

1.
National Treasure (2004) — TMDB 2059
2.
National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) — TMDB 6637

Same-universe TV spinoff

•
National Treasure: Edge of History (2022, Disney+) — TMDB TV 137437 — a new teenage lead searching for a different treasure; Riley Poole (from the films) appears as a supporting character, but the show doesn't require having seen either film first.

Where to start if you only have a weekend

Both films, in order — they're a tight two-film arc with the second picking up plot threads (and a family-name mystery) the first sets up. The TV series is an optional companion, not a prerequisite either direction.
