Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are making their first joint producing effort with a series project at HBO.

“The Bourne Ultimatum” co-writer Scott Burns is penning the untitled drama, which will explore the behind-the scenes politics of an international aid organization and chronicle the lives of humanitarian workers assigned to dangerous zones and the people in need they assist.

Jolie, Pitt and Burns, producer of the Oscar-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” are executive producing. Jolie’s longtime manager, Media Talent Group’s Geyer Kosinski, serves as co-executive producer.

The series has been a passion project for Jolie since she did the 2003 feature “Beyond Borders,” a drama about disaster-relief workers in war-torn countries.

Since 2001, Jolie has been a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations’ refugee agency, traveling to hot zones to help people displaced by wars and natural disasters.
