Netflix Signs John Wick Writers to make Splinter Cell TV Series

One very popular PC games series was, of course, Splinter Cell, and as it turns out, the franchise will be brought towards a TV series on Netflix.

Netflix and Ubisoft teamed with Derek Kolstad (Writer behind the John Wick movies) to bring this project to life, which will be an animated series. Kolstad will be the writer and executive producer. There's a catch though, it'll be an animated series based on at least 2 seasons and 16 episodes. The original game follows former Navy SEAL Sam Fisher, recruited by the NSA to work in the Echelon Third Division. Splinter Cell has been a success since its beginning.

Awesome game. Best in the series imo.

the series is split in two.
The first 3 games, with Chaos Theory being the best SpC ever. And the second half with Double Agent, Conviction and Blacklist of which the latter is the best.
If they make a SpC with Chaos Theory in mind i would be pleased. If they bring SJW and make it like Conviction then it is better that the series is dead.

I would rank them, from best to worst.
Chaos Theory
Splinter Cell
Blacklist
Pandora Tomorrow
Double Agent
Conviction

I only hope it's better than Netflix's other videogame adaptations like Dragon Quest: Your Story and Ni No Kuni anime.
