    The Punisher (Netflix) - Season 2 January 18, 2019

    Marvel's The Punisher Spin-Off Ordered By Netflix
    http://www.ew.com/article/2016/04/29...alflow_twitter

    It’s official: The Punisher is getting his own TV series.

    EW has learned that Marvel has ordered a spin-off starring vigilante character introduced in Daredevil season 2.

    Jon Bernthal will reprise his role as vengeful military veteran Frank Castle, who brings his own lethal form of justice to Hell’s Kitchen.

    Writer and executive producer Steve Lightfoot (Hanniba, Casualty) will serve as showrunner.

    Marvel’s The Punisher marks the sixth series ordered (so far) as part of the collaboration between Netflix and Marvel Television, including the upcoming Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and the ensemble miniseries The Defenders – along with Jessica Jones and the aforementioned Daredevil. (And in case you’re wondering, as we are, whether Bernthal’s character will also be added to The Defenders lineup, that’s not yet clear – though it seems likely he’ll at least pop in for an appearance.)

    Word that Netflix was working on a potential Punisher spin-off was first reported by TV Line last summer. Netflix and Marvel are expected to publicly announce the project later Friday. Here is the first teaser image for the new series:

    Excite. Not even very familiar with his comics, but Bernthal was great in DD and they've put out 3 excellent Netflix seasons so far.

    Fucking awesome. Bernthal was pretty much universally praised for his portrayal of the character.

    I am super hype. My only "concern" for the series is I hope it's compelling enough for 13 episodes. I feel like certain Marvel characters are better as supporting characters working with other heroes directly or indirectly and for me personally, The Punisher is one of those characters.

    Well, based on how great Marvel's shows have been so far, I'm excited.

    DD kinda fizzled by 13 episodes so I think 10-11 would be a better set for something like Punisher which relies alot on building up villainy and scum so he can knock it all down with ruthless abandon.

    I was very skeptical of him in the role. I just couldn't see him past Shane at first. The man definitely delivered. Looking forward to a stand alone show. I just hope they keep it bloody as it needs to be.

    That's my main concern as well. He was fantastic in Daredevil, but I think a lot of that was because of how well he played against Matt. The contrast in their ideologies helped drive the first part of the season, the rooftop scene was excellent and the graveyard scene was amazing.

    Thing is though I think most people would have said the same thing about Jessica Jones. That turned out pretty well.

    Oh, I'm sure the show will be great. With one of the main writers from Hannibal producing this show, my hopes are super high.

    I loved it but Jessica Jones kind of started out really slow. Really didn't get going til like the 4th episode.

    I'd be fine with a slightly slow burn on punisher so long as it builds up to a three digit body count by the end.

    Real missed opportunity if you don't cast Dolph Lundgren as the Russian and Thomas Jane as Jigsaw.
