The Professor didn't seem famliar with Bourne when they met in Southern France. By the way, Jarda was the German asset (from Hamburg) in "THE BOURNE IDENTITY".

Jason Bourne (and Matt Damon) doesn't appear in Treadstone, nor are his present whereabouts divulged, but Bourne's prior exploits are tacitly acknowledged on the show.
Who is Jason Bourne? Literally, he's a brainwashed super-operative once employed by the CIA. Alternatively, you might see him as an unbound superhero, popularized at a time when the war on terror was as new and fascinating as it was, well, terrifying. Bourne's muscle memory overrides his amnesia.
Though Treadstone is the inaugural TV spin-off of the larger Bourne universe, which began with Robert Ludlum's 1980 novel The Bourne Identity and has carried on in book form even after the author's death, it's not the first attempt to build out the series without Damon.

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) The Bourne Legacy (2012) Jason Bourne (2016) Treadstone - Season 1 (2019)
Three years after Jason Bourne, the Bourne franchise is coming back very soon to USA with a spinoff series called Treadstone. Ben Smith, who is a producer of the films and Treadstone, confirmed the news while speaking to CinemaBlend about the upcoming spy and sleeper agent series.
Treadstone's production was based in Budapest but shot on location across multiple continents—Smith says he traveled a total of 250,000 miles over nine months of shooting. In the second episode, which airs on October 22, the action takes place at an especially iconic location, the Palace of Versailles.
On May 7, 2019, The CW ordered the show to series. On October 25, 2019, the series was picked up for a full season of 22 episodes. On January 7, 2020, the series was renewed for a second season, which is set to premiere on January 17, 2021.
The two shows, both from Universal Content Productions, are out as part of a shift in strategy at the cable network. USA has canceled the scripted series The Purge and Treadstone amid a larger shift in strategy at the NBCUniversal-owned cable network.
The dramedy about military medics lasted a single season at the ViacomCBS network. Paramount Network has canceled its dramedy 68 Whiskey after a single season.
The rookie drama starred Stephen Dorff, who had one of last season's biggest talent deals for the series from Entertainment One. The independent broadcast network on Friday made the decision to cancel the rookie drama Deputy.
USA Network has axed the Gina Torres-led drama “Pearson” after just one season. The series was a spinoff of fellow USA series “Suits.” Torres reprised the role of disbarred powerhouse lawyer Jessica Pearson as she moves to Chicago and gets involved in the world of politics.
Sadly, The Purge has been officially canceled by USA as of May 2020, meaning there definitely won't be a season 3. The series is unlikely to be shopped to a different network, as NBC Universal owns it.
