The selection of “Condor” as the show’s title directly relates to the source material upon which the series is based. The 1975 film “Three Days of the Condor,” adapted from the novel “Six Days of the Condor” by James Grady, provides the foundational narrative. The name “Condor” itself acts as a code name or alias adopted by the protagonist, reflecting his initial anonymity and subsequent struggle for survival against powerful forces.
Employing this title immediately connects the television series to the established themes of espionage, government conspiracy, and the individual’s vulnerability within complex geopolitical machinations. It leverages the existing recognition and potential audience familiarity with the preceding film and novel. The title creates an immediate sense of intrigue and foreshadows the central character’s perilous journey as he navigates a world of deception and danger. The choice also provides a concise and impactful brand, suitable for marketing and audience recall.
