Jason Bourne may be done at the cinema for now but some of the American super soldier's buddies (and enemies) are coming to television.

USA Network gave a straight-to-series order to Treadstone, a Jason Bourne spinoff covering Operation Treadstone, the fictional (or so we think and hope) CIA black ops program that turned Jason Bourne into an amnesiac killing machine.
