Treadstone (TV Series)

From the world of Jason Bourne, Treadstone is an action-packed thriller set amidst the CIA black ops program Operation Treadstone. Exploring both the origins of the infamous covert program, as well as connecting to present-day special ops, Treadstone follows the action across the globe -- from D.C. to Berlin to Paris and beyond. Treadstone turns its recruits around the world into nearly superhuman assassins using a secret behavior-modification protocol, creating sleeper agents who are mysteriously "awakening" to resume their dangerous missions.

The Jason Bourne spy franchise has been a solid action vehicle for actor Matt Damon, and over the years, Universal Pictures has experimented with trying to turn it into a bigger franchise. Its latest attempt is a TV show called Treadstone the new series will debut on USA this October

The trailer shows off all of the requisite hand-to-hand action scenes, car chases, and glimpses of documents the CIA really should have shredded years ago. The show looks as though it’s aimed at building out the world we first saw in The Bourne Identity, following a group of sleeper agents as they discover they’re uncannily good at getting in and out of fights but are conditioned to not remember their training. From the teaser, it looks like someone’s going through the trouble of tracking them down to “wake” them up.

Back in July, USA released a brief announcement teaser with the show’s characters: sleeper agents, SoYun Pak (Han Hyo-Joo) and J. Randolph Bentley (Jeremy Irvine), as well as Petra (Emilia Schüle), a Russian KGB agent. Michelle Forbes (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Battlestar Galactica) will also appear as a CIA agent.
