Splinter Cell's Deathwatch team decides to swap Sam Fisher's signature voice actor to establish a fresh audio profile, as they aim for extended series run.
In the world of streaming entertainment, October 14, 2025, is shaping up to be an exciting day for fans of the Tom Clancy universe. The anticipated Netflix series, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, based on the acclaimed stealth video game, is set to premiere.
The show, a production by Ubisoft, Derek Kolstad (John Wick), Sun Creature, and Fost, brings a fresh take on the Splinter Cell franchise. One of the most intriguing aspects of the series is the recast of Sam Fisher, the franchise's iconic protagonist, with Liev Schreiber stepping into the role, replacing Michael Ironside from the games.
Derek Kolstad, the showrunner, has explained the reason behind this change. He stated that a new sound was desired for the show, leading to the recast. This decision was met with approval, as Schreiber's previous role as John Clark in The Sum of All Fears, based on a Tom Clancy novel, was seen as a good fit.
The synopsis for the show mentions a wounded young operative seeking help from Sam Fisher. Details about Liev Schreiber's portrayal of Sam Fisher or his connection to the Tom Clancy universe are not explicitly provided in the synopsis.
The first trailer for the Splinter Cell: Deathwatch show was released in August, offering a glimpse into the show's dark and suspenseful atmosphere. Schreiber's portrayal of Sam Fisher, older than his game counterpart, promises to deliver a compelling performance.
Despite the lack of specific details about the show's partnerships or collaborations, it is clear that Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is a Netflix production. Kolstad's comments about the recast were made to IGN, shedding some light on the decision-making process behind the casting.
As we eagerly await the premiere of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell on October 14, it is exciting to see how the beloved franchise will translate to the small screen. With Liev Schreiber at the helm, fans can expect a fresh take on a classic character.
