As part of "GeekedWeek," Netflix has shared a first official look at the Splinter Cell animated series based on the hit Ubisoft video game franchise. This isn't the live-action movie many fans have been hoping for (Venom star Tom Hardy was once attached to star in the project), but if there's enough interest in the show, perhaps that movie will finally start to gain a little steam.
This first look doesn't reveal much, but Sam Fisher looks every bit the badass based on this teaser.
John Wick writer Derek Kolstad is set to serve as both writer and executive producer on the show which has already received a two-season, sixteen-episode order from the streaming service.
The first Splinter Cell game was released back in 2002, and there have since been six sequels and a series of novels. Recently, fans were left disappointed when a new instalment was announced, only for it to later be revealed that it will be a mobile game rather than a PS5 or Xbox Series X title.
Splinter Cell revolves around former U.S. Navy SEAL Sam Fisher after he is recruited by the NSA to work for the mysterious Third Echelon division within the agency. He then embarks on a variety of black ops missions, with the aim being to pull those off stealthily without alerting anyone to his presence.
