Treadstone

Treadstone is an American action drama television series created by Tim Kring, who is also the executive producer alongside Ramin Bahrani, Ben Smith, Jeffrey Weiner, Justin Levy, Bradley Thomas, and Dan Friedkin. It is part of the Bourne franchise and serves as a prequel to The Bourne Identity (2002). A "special preview" of the pilot aired on USA Network on September 24, 2019, ahead of its October 15, 2019, premiere. Treadstone received generally mixed reviews from critics and in May 2020, the series was canceled after one season of ten episodes.

==Premise== Treadstone explores the origin story and present-day actions of a fictional CIA black-ops program known as Operation Treadstone — a covert program that uses a behavior modification protocol to turn recruits into nearly-superhuman assassins. The series follows sleeper agents across the globe as they are mysteriously 'awakened' to resume their deadly missions. The program breaks down these assassins' personalities, erases their memories, and eliminates their moral code so they can effectively kill targets around the world.
