Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell on Netflix will return for a second season, extending the animated espionage saga of legendary operative Sam Fisher.
Netflix officially confirmed the continuation following the release of Deathwatch, the first season of the franchise’s debut adaptation. With its stylized animation and grounded tone, the series has positioned itself apart from typical game-to-screen projects, emphasizing moral tension over spectacle.
Season 1 is currently streaming, the renewal signals confidence in both the creative team and audience engagement.
A New Chapter for Sam Fisher
In Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Netflix, Sam Fisher is not reintroduced as a myth but as a man drawn back into the shadows. Voiced by Liev Schreiber, Fisher resumes duty after a young operative, voiced by Kirby Howell-Baptiste, seeks his guidance. Rather than revisiting game missions, the series focuses on legacy, mentorship, and the internal cost of returning to conflict.
The Season 2 renewal suggests further exploration of Fisher’s moral code, though no narrative details have been disclosed. There is no confirmed time jump or setting shift.
Created by Derek Kolstad of John Wick
One of the defining strengths of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell lies in its creative leadership. Derek Kolstad, creator of John Wick, developed the series with Ubisoft Film & Television, maintaining fidelity to stealth themes rather than action excess.
Creative Team
- Creator / Writer: Derek Kolstad
- Director: Guillaume Dousse
- Co-Director: Félicien Colmet-Daage
- Executive Producers: Derek Kolstad, Helene Juguet, Hugo Revon, Gerard Guillemot
- Studios: Sun Creature and Fost
The use of animation allows espionage to unfold with visual restraint, stark light, coded messages, off-screen violence, rather than spectacle. Season 2 is expected to maintain that editorial restraint.
Voice Cast and Performances
The first season introduced a concise cast with controlled delivery rather than theatrical intensity:
- Liev Schreiber as Sam Fisher
- Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Zinnia McKenna
Netflix and Ubisoft: A Calculated Expansion
The renewal of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Netflix marks another step in Netflix’s ongoing partnership with major gaming IP. Unlike Castlevania or Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, this adaptation refuses flamboyance. Its quiet pacing and sparse dialogue push it closer to political thriller than anime, setting a distinct tone in Netflix’s animated catalog.
