“Those who want the world to change, know that they must break it.” Netflix has revealed the main official trailer for their next anime series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, another animated take on another popular franchise. It’s ready to launch for streaming on Netflix in October this fall – right around the corner. In this first-ever adaptation of the acclaimed stealth video game Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, legendary secret agent Sam Fisher is drawn back in when a wounded young operative seeks out his help. It’s produced by Ubisoft, in partnership with Derek Kolstad (creator of John Wick and Nobody), Sun Creature and Fost. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell is originally a series of stealth action-adventure video games, the first of which was released in 2002, and their tie-in novels that were endorsed by Tom Clancy. The series follows Sam Fisher, a highly trained agent of a fictional black-ops sub-division in the NSA, the “Third Echelon”, as he confronts adversaries. Liev Schreiber voices Sam Fisher, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste voices Zinnia McKenna in this series. This is much better than the teaser trailer, packed with tons of action and fist fights and the cool green nightvision goggles. But it still lacks all the mystery & intrigue that I want from a Splinter Cell anime.

Here’s the main trailer (+ poster) for Ubisoft’s animated series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, via YouTube:

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is a series created and showrun by Hollywood action writer Derek Kolstad (creator / writer of John Wick, John Wick: Chapter 2, Nobody, Nobody 2, Die Hart). With additional writing by David Daitch, Katie J. Stone, Naomi G. Davis, Anthony Florez, Fallon O’Dowd, Matias Wulff, and Joseph Mwamba.

Sushin Shyam Flags Netflix Over Uncredited Use of Aavesham Track in Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Teaser

Malayalam composer Sushin Shyam, who gave Aavesham its pulsating soundscape, has publicly raised concerns after hearing his track The Last Dance in the teaser of Netflix’s new animated series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch. The track, originally created with rapper Hanumankind, plays prominently in the action-packed promo, but neither artiste was credited.

A Familiar Beat, An Absent Credit

The teaser quickly went viral, but for Malayalam cinema fans, the music was unmistakable. Sushin drew attention to the omission in typically wry fashion, commenting beneath the official YouTube upload: “Thanks Netflix for featuring my track! Would’ve been even cooler if my name had made it to the credits too.” His words sparked a wider discussion online about how regional creators often slip through the cracks when their work is repurposed for global platforms. As of now, neither Netflix nor Ubisoft, which owns the Splinter Cell franchise, has issued a statement.

Milestones Beyond the Controversy

The composer, however, has also had reasons to celebrate. Recently, Sushin described experiencing his “first real fanboy moment” when AR Rahman followed him on Instagram, a gesture he said left him overwhelmed and grateful. On the personal front, Sushin tied the knot last year, while professionally he has been on a short breather since delivering back-to-back hits with Manjummel Boys and Aavesham.

Still, he hasn’t been idle. July saw him drop Ray, his first independent single, marking a step into non-film music. And on the horizon are two big projects: Balan: The Boy, directed by Chidambaram and written by Aavesham filmmaker Jithu Madhavan, and Torpedo, filmmaker Tharun Moorthy’s next, starring Fahadh Faasil, Naslen, Arjun Das and Ganapathi.

The Bigger Picture

Sushin’s blunt yet humorous response highlights a larger debate: when regional music travels beyond borders, are its creators given their due? While The Last Dance finding space in a high-profile Netflix production is undeniably a milestone, the lack of credit raises uncomfortable questions about visibility and fairness. For now, the incident has amplified Sushin’s voice beyond Kerala and reaffirmed the growing global appetite for music born in Indian cinema.

“This mission is personal. Netflix has unveiled a first look teaser trailer for their upcoming series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, another anime offering from Netflix. This was debuted at the Anime NYC convention this week, and will be streaming on Netflix in October this fall. In this first-ever adaptation of the acclaimed stealth video game Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, legendary secret agent Sam Fisher is drawn back in when a wounded young operative seeks out his help. It’s produced by Ubisoft, in partnership with Derek Kolstad (creator of John Wick and Nobody), Sun Creature and Fost. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell is originally a series of stealth action-adventure video games, the first of which was released in 2002, and their tie-in novels that were endorsed by Tom Clancy. The series follows Sam Fisher, a highly trained agent of a fictional black-ops sub-division within the NSA, dubbed “Third Echelon”, as he confronts many adversaries. Liev Schreiber voices Sam Fisher, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste voices Zinnia McKenna in this anime series. As cool as it is to see them adapting this, the footage does not look that exciting yet. Just a generic spy action thriller… huh.

Here’s the first teaser trailer for Ubisoft’s animated series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, from YouTube:
