AceShowbiz - Netflix has released a first-look teaser for its upcoming anime adaptation of "Splinter Cell", confirming that Liev Schreiber will lend his voice to the iconic stealth specialist Tom Clancy. The series, titled "Splinter Cell: Deathwatch", also reveals key details about its timeline.

Netflix has unveiled a teaser for its highly anticipated "Splinter Cell" anime adaptation, confirming that Liev Schreiber will voice the legendary Sam Fisher. The teaser, released during Netflix's Geeked Week fan event, features a glimpse of Fisher with a gray beard, suggesting an older version of the character.

Rumors of Schreiber's involvement have circulated online for weeks, following hints from actor Michael Ironside, who previously voiced Fisher in the video game series. The project is a collaboration between Netflix and Ubisoft, with Derek Kolstad ("John Wick") serving as head writer and executive producer.

The first official footage from "Splinter Cell: Deathwatch" also reveals a key clue about its timeline. A casket with the name "Douglas Shetland" is shown briefly. Shetland was a character in "Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow" and "Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory", suggesting that the anime may take place between the events of those games.

The announcement of Schreiber's casting and the timeline hint have excited fans of the franchise. No release date has been announced yet, but the teaser indicates that "Splinter Cell: Deathwatch" is progressing well. It is produced by animation studios Sun Creature and Fost, and co-directed by Guillaume Dousse and Felicien Colmet-Daage.
