While Splinter Cell players know Anna Grimsdottir from the games as Sam’s tech officer, Zinnia McKenna and Thunder are new characters created for Deathwatch.
The show’s official synopsis said the premise is that “Sam Fisher is drawn back into the field when a wounded young operative seeks out his help,” so it stands to reason that Zinnia is that operative.
The show – written by Derek Kolstad, the creator of John Wick – appears set after the events of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory as the trailer shows the funeral of Sam’s former comrade-in-arms Douglas Shetland, who Sam killed in that game.
Derek Kolstad, Helene Juguet, Hugo Revon, and Ubisoft Film & Television’s Gerard Guillemot serve as executive producers. Guillaume Dousse and Félicien Colmet-Daage are the show’s co-directors while the animation is by Sun Creature and Fost.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch launches on Netflix this fall.
In addition to Splinter Cell, Netflix also released new teasers for Devil May Cry Season 2, Blue Eye Samurai Season 2, Sakamoto Days, and Record of Ragnarok III at Anime NYC.
