One of the many things that Splinter Cell: Deathwatch’s finale leaves unanswered is what happened to Sam’s daughter, Sarah. The show has premiered with all of its planned episodes, and fans are now speculating whether she’s alive or not.
Is Sarah dead or alive in Splinter Cell: Deathwatch?
Sarah Fisher, Sam Fisher’s daughter, does not appear in Netflix‘s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Season 1 events. However, the show mentions her during certain flashbacks. It showcased Sam’s life as a single parent as he leaves his daughter to take on missions around the globe.
In the games, Sarah’s death was staged to lure out a mole in the Third Echelon. But it was later revealed to Sam that his daughter was alive and well. While she has been in trouble on several other occasions in the games, she was never reported dead. The same goes for Netflix’s animated show.
Season 1 has never mentioned that Sarah is dead. It could mean that she is still alive somewhere, offering some hope about her appearance in the show’s future. If she were to return, the relationship with her father could be a great way to bring in some emotional tone to the show.
Will Sam’s daughter return in Splinter Cell Season 2?
Currently, Netflix has yet to renew Splinter Cell: Deathwatch for a second season. Furthermore, there are no hints that Sarah could be in the next season. However, it can be speculated that she’ll appear sometime in Season 2, given her importance in Sam’s life.
In the game lore, Sarah has had a long and strained relationship with her father. But as she grew older, she understood her father’s responsibilities and accepted her father’s absence. Since the series is canon to the game franchise, this storyline could eventually be picked up in the second season, if there is any.
All eight episodes of Splinter Cell: Deathwatch are currently available on Netflix to stream.
