With Universal studios losing the rights, a new era is beginning for the Jason Bourne series. The rights to the series have officially returned to the foundation established in the name of the author of the original works, Robert Ludlum. The foundation has started negotiations with major companies such as Apple, Netflix and Skydance to determine the future of the series. It is stated that Apple and Netflix are in a strong race to purchase the series.

Netflix and Apple enter the race for the Jason Bourne series

This development surprised those expecting a new Jason Bourne film under the Universal roof. It was previously known that preparations were being made for a new film directed by Edward Berger and starring Matt Damon.

However, it was learned that this project was also canceled when the rights to the series were transferred from Universal. It remains unclear how the series will follow its path at its new studio. It has not yet been clarified whether the new production will be a sequel starring Matt Damon or a project that will revisit the series.

The issue of who will be the new owner of the Bourne series seems quite critical, especially considering the importance that digital platforms give to the action genre. Netflix has previously garnered a lot of attention with high-budget action films like The Gray Man, Extraction, and 6 Underground.

If the Bourne series is acquired by Netflix or Apple, it is already a matter of curiosity as to what direction the series will take in the future. So what do you think about this? You can share your views with us in the comments section below.
