　　Now Playing: Jason Bourne Spin-Off TV Show Is Happening - GameSpot Universe News Update

　　Variety states that the first season will go into production in 2019 and will follow several of these agents across the world, as they are "awakened" and sent on deadly missions. In the movies, Matt Damon's Jason Bourne character was a member of this program who regained his memories and turned against the agency.

　　The Jason Bourne character first appeared in a series of novels written by Robert Ludlum. The success of the first adaptation, 2002's The Bourne Identity, led to two acclaimed sequels--The Bourne Supremacy (2004) and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). Damon and director Paul Greengrass weren't involved in the next movie, The Bourne Legacy (2012), but returned for 2016's Jason Bourne.
