In July 2020, it was revealed that Ubisoft Film & Television was developing an animated adaptation of the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell video game franchise for Netflix. Derek Kolstad was hired to serve as the lead writer for the series, which was initially reported to have received a two-season order but[1] Kolstad later stated that only the first season had been green-lit and that it would take a few years before the series was released.[2] Kolstad imagined the series with an older Sam Fisher,[3] and he wrote the story such that the history behind the games was canon for the show. He also maintained the clandestine feel from the games by utilizing long periods of silence before sudden bursts of action.[4]
In August 2024, Michael Ironside, who had previously voiced the character Sam Fisher in the video games, stated that he was too old to portray the character for television and that Liev Schreiber had taken over the role.[5] This was confirmed the following month, when Netflix released a first look of the series and announced Schrieber's casting. Animation was provided by the Danish/French Sun Creature Studio and the French studio Fost.[6] Guillaume Dousse began working on the series at Sun Creature as a creative director, and as development progressed, his responsibilities grew to director of some episodes and then the whole first season. The scale of the production was too large for Sun Creature, so most production animation was done at Fost, where Dousse worked with co-director Félicien Colmet-Daâge to lead that aspect.[3]
On October 15, 2025, Netflix renewed the series for a second season.[7]

The series premiered on Netflix on October 14, 2025.[8][9]
