The Bourne franchise became the signature spy series of the 2000s, thanks to Matt Damon’s haunted performance as amnesiac secret agent Jason Bourne, and Paul Greengrass’ taut, handheld action scenes.
The series, which was originally ordered to pilot back in April, centers on the fictional CIA black ops program Operation Treadstone, which was the program that created superspy Jason Bourne.
The Bourne Legacy, with Jeremy Renner as a similar Treadstone agent (with a hunger for chems!), was as critical flop and remains the series’ lowest-grossing film.
The Treadstone series goes into production in 2019.
