After a 12-year hiatus from new game releases, Splinter Cell fans continue to await new content. While Ubisoft develops a remake of the classic game, they can revisit existing titles and stream Splinter Cell: Deathwatch on Netflix. For those who enjoyed the first season, creator Derek Kolstad, known for his work on the John Wick franchise, has confirmed a second season. This upcoming season will feature more episodes packed with espionage and action, continuing the storyline from where Splinter Cell: Blacklist concluded in 2013. Sun Creature Studios is producing this 8-episode season, with each episode estimated to run for approximately 30 minutes.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an average critic score of 82%, yet its audience score is significantly lower at 56%.
