Jason Bourne Franchise Rights Enter Competitive Bidding as Universal Faces New Rivals

Skydance, Apple, and Netflix are vying for the rights to the iconic spy series, with Universal still in contention to reclaim its long-held franchise.

The rights to the Jason Bourne franchise, previously held by Universal for over two decades, are now being shopped by WME on behalf of the Robert Ludlum estate.
Major studios and streamers, including Skydance, Apple, and Netflix, have expressed interest in acquiring the rights to the franchise.
Universal remains a potential bidder to regain the rights but faces stiff competition from other players in the industry.
It is uncertain whether Matt Damon, who starred in four of the five Bourne films, will return for any future reboot or continuation.
The Ludlum estate is also exploring options for other works in the late author’s library, potentially expanding beyond the Bourne series.
