Sleeper Agents Are Awakened in First Trailer For The BOURNE Spinoff Series TREADSTONE

USA Network has released the first trailer for their upcoming Bourne spinoff series Treadstone, and it actually looks like it’s going to be an action-packed series. There are some brutal looking fight sequences teased in this first trailer.

The ten-episode series was created by Tim Kring (Heroes), and it “explores the origin story and present-day actions of a CIA black ops program known as Operation Treadstone — a covert program that uses behavior-modification protocol to turn recruits into nearly superhuman assassins.” The first season will follow sleeper agents across the globe as they’re mysteriously “awakened” to resume their deadly missions. They are part of a Treadstone program called “Cicada”.

When talking about the series, executive producer Ben Smith, who also served as producer of Jason Bourne and The Bourne Legacy, told Entertainment Weekly:

“These Cicadas have very different trajectories upon finding themselves ‘awakened’ over a decade after volunteering for a black-ops program of which they have no memory. Their ordinary cover lives, which they believed to be real, are thrown into chaos when they are activated to perform deadly missions. Their journey will take viewers on a thrilling ride as they uncover the truth.

The series has a solid cast that includes Jeremy Irvine, Brian J. Smith, Omar Metwally, Tracy Ifeachor, Hyo Joo Han, Gabrielle Scharnitzky, Emilia Schüle. Michelle Forbes, Patrick Fugit, Michael Gaston, Tess Haubrich, and Bollywood star Shruti Haasan.
