Netflix is set to release Splinter Cell: Deathwatch on October 14, 2025. The adult animated series brings Ubisoft’s iconic stealth franchise to life for the first time in animation. Sam Fisher returns as the central character, stepping back into the field when a young operative seeks his help. The series promises intense espionage action and high-stakes missions.
The show spans eight episodes and is produced by Ubisoft Film & Television in partnership with Netflix. It combines realistic visuals with stylized elements to create a dynamic and immersive look. The writing focuses on high-octane action while exploring new stories within the Splinter Cell universe. Fans can expect both familiar characters and fresh faces in the narrative.
While staying true to the tone of the games, the anime also takes creative liberties with the story. New missions, personal stakes, and dramatic twists are introduced, giving the series its own identity. The blend of action, strategy, and character-driven moments ensures that the story feels fresh without abandoning what made the franchise compelling.
Splinter Cell: Deathwatch arrives exclusively on Netflix in October, giving fans a first animated take on Sam Fisher’s adventures. The series is designed to appeal to longtime followers while also welcoming newcomers to the world of espionage and stealth. With its mix of action and animation, it promises to be a standout adaptation of the franchise – even if the promise of a new Splinter Cell game feels further away then ever. You can catch the latest trailer below.
