Matt Damon’s foundational spy thriller, The Bourne Identity, has returned to the streaming charts in the United States. As of late September 2026, the 119-minute film has secured a position in the Starz Top 10, part of a broader resurgence of interest in the actor’s classic catalog amid his current record-breaking theatrical run.
The 2002 film is not alone in its revival; the entire original trilogy is currently seeing a surge in viewership. According to reported data, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum have also entered the Starz Top 10 movies list, holding the #7 and #8 spots respectively, while The Bourne Identity remains a steady draw at #10.
This streaming success follows a dominant year for Damon, often referred to as a 2026 “career renaissance.” He is currently starring in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which features an ensemble including Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, and Tom Holland.
The momentum behind Damon’s current work is expected to carry into the 2027 awards season. Industry analysts are closely watching whether The Odyssey can challenge the historic 16 Academy Award nominations set by Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, which currently holds the record for the most nods in a single year.
Damon’s streaming dominance in 2026 extends beyond his legacy roles. Earlier this year, his Netflix original thriller The Rip, which reunited him with longtime collaborator Ben Affleck, was the most-viewed streaming movie of the first half of the year. This “halo effect” from both The Odyssey and The Rip appears to be a primary driver for the renewed interest in Jason Bourne, a character that redefined the action genre more than two decades ago.
While the original films find new audiences, speculation regarding the future of the Jason Bourne franchise remains high. Although not officially confirmed, reports indicate that a new installment is in development under the tentative title Jason Bourne Exodus, with Edward Berger reportedly attached to direct. For now, the trilogy’s presence on the charts suggests that interest in the tactical, high-stakes world of Bourne remains as strong as ever.
