Disney is once again diving into history with a fascinating new National Geographic special, Cleopatra’s Final Secret. The unscripted special premieres September 25 at 10/9c on National Geographic and will stream the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
A Search Two Decades in the Making
Lawyer-turned-archaeologist Kathleen Martinez has spent 20 years searching for Cleopatra’s lost tomb. Her excavations have taken her across Egypt, following every possible lead to uncover one of history’s greatest mysteries.
A New Direction Underwater
Martinez’s journey has now led her in an unexpected new direction — a submerged site miles offshore in the Mediterranean. This hidden location could hold the final resting place of Egypt’s legendary queen, and it may change everything we thought we knew about Cleopatra’s fate.
Experts Join the Mission
To take on this ambitious challenge, Martinez has enlisted the help of Titanic discoverer Bob Ballard, the Egyptian Navy, and a team of archaeologists and divers. Together, they are preparing to explore this mysterious site in hopes of making a groundbreaking discovery.

Cleopatra’s Final Secret premieres September 25 at 10/9c on National Geographic and streams the following day on Disney+ and Hulu.
