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.

Animated characters enable creators to express things, normal human actors can't.
I hope it will turn out to be good.
