“It wasn’t retrofitted to get it initially started as, ‘Oh let’s mine the library.’ This was a concept that we’ve been talking about for a long time.” “‘Treadstone’ as an idea is something that I’ve wanted to do for over a decade,” Ben Smith, a producer on “Bourne Legacy” and “Jason Bourne,” told TheWrap. Both “Treadstone” and “The Purge” are taking different approaches when it comes to extending their respective worlds from the big screen to the television screen.Īlso Read: 'Treadstone': 'Bourne' TV Spinoff's Trailer Shows Sleeper Agents Awakening as Superhuman Assassins (Video) Their parent company NBCUniversal is looking to reap the benefits of finding new ways to mine franchise IP, among the most valuable commodities in the entertainment industry. It follows much of the same beats as the 2002 film, with Jason Bourne (played by Richard Chamberlain) awakening and not remembering who he is while displaying skills most normal people don't know.Both film franchises come from sister studio Universal Pictures.
If you want to see absolutely everything Bourne-related, then you need to check out this made-for-TV movie that aired on ABC in two parts in 1988. Treadstone is on Amazon Video in the UK, as well as coming to channel 5Action. It can also be watched as a standalone, or after the film series, which is what we recommend. Note: You could watch Treadstone first, before the films, in your re-watch, but the jump to the present day in the first season might confuse or not mean as much to you. From there, the show dives into the present day, with Treadstone assets going about their normal lives until they are suddenly activated and become world-class assassins like Bourne. It’s part-prequel and part-sequel to the Bourne film series, with some of the story set in 1973, when we see CIA operative John Randolph Bentley (played by Jeremy Irvine) escape from a Soviet behavior modification program known as Cicada in East Berlin. The first and only season of Treadstone aired on the USA Network.
