Netflix’s upcoming animated series based on the widely popular video game Splinter Cell just got its first teaser, giving us our first look at one character’s apparent death and those all-important night vision goggles. The first trailer for the upcoming Splinter Cell show, or should we say teaser as it is only 45 seconds long, opens with a shot of night vision goggles floating down in the water and a man drowning, surrounded by a wreckage of some sort. Next, a coffin marked "Douglas Shetland, Beloved Father" pops up, which seemingly belongs to the man we saw drowning.
The clip ends with a man wearing the goggles walking towards the screen saying "They’ll never see you coming for them." We don't know about you, but we’re getting a revenge vibe here. Watch the full teaser below.
Although Netflix has yet to release an official synopsis for Splinter Cell, which is officially titled Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, according to Tudum the series follows "a black ops agent working for a US government division called the Fourth Echelon." The show stars X-Men Origins: Wolverine ’s Liev Schreiber as Sam Fisher. The show is based on the video game series Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell by Ubisoft .
The first game released in 2002 follows covert ops veteran Sam Fisher who gets recruited to spearhead a new top-secret initiative called the Splinter Cell Program. As Fisher, the player must go on high intelligence missions in hostile territories without leaving any trace. Si.
