by

The popular video game series *Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell* is getting a new animated series on Netflix this fall. A new trailer for *Splinter Cell: Deathwatch* gives fans a first look at the upcoming show. Netflix has seen great success adapting video games into animated series like *Castlevania*, *Devil May Cry*, and *Tomb Raider*, and they’re continuing that trend with more projects, including *Deathwatch*, which arrives next month.

Netflix is adapting Tom Clancy’s *Splinter Cell: Deathwatch* into an animated series this October, and it boasts a talented creative team. The series is based on the popular novel and video game, and the scripts are written by Derek Kolstad, the creator of the *John Wick* franchise. This combination promises an exciting and action-packed new adventure for fans. You can watch the official trailer below.

What to Know for Splinter Cell: Deathwatch’s Fall 2025 Premiere

The new animated series, *Splinter Cell: Deathwatch*, based on Tom Clancy’s game, will launch globally on Netflix on October 14th. This latest trailer may be the last comprehensive look before the premiere, aside from shorter teasers. Guillaume Dousse and Félicien Colmet-Daage are directing the series, with animation handled by Sun Creature and Fost studios. Derek Kolstad, known for creating the *John Wick* films, is writing the scripts and also serves as an executive producer alongside Helene Juguet, Hugo Revon, and Gerard Guillemot from Ubisoft Film & Television.

It’s a little unclear how the new animated series, *Splinter Cell: Deathwatch*, connects to the rest of the *Splinter Cell* story, but Netflix describes it as a tale where Sam Fisher is a legendary figure pulled back into the world of espionage to help a rookie uncover a worldwide conspiracy. Liev Schreiber will voice Sam Fisher, and Janet Varney, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and Joel Oulette will voice Anna Grimsdottir, Zinnia McKenna, and Thunder, respectively. More voice actors are expected to be announced soon.

What’s Next for Video Game Anime on Netflix?

Netflix has seen great success with its video game adaptations, and the latest trailer suggests Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch will continue that trend. So far, each of these shows has significantly boosted viewership for Netflix and established a strong following. If Deathwatch is a hit, it could open the door for even more successful game adaptations on the platform in the future.

Anime is becoming increasingly popular on platforms like Netflix, and each new release seems to raise the bar for quality. Research shows that Gen Z is watching a lot more anime than other types of content, a trend we’ve seen with other adapted franchises. If this latest series does well, we can expect to see even more video game adaptations coming to our screens.
