The Punisher Series Is Happening At Netflix
One of the most successful aspects of Netflix’s Daredevil Season 2 was the introduction of more vigilantes and general badasses. Helping out (and sometimes opposing) the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen where his old flame and assassin Elektra, as well as trigger-happy Frank Castle aka The Punisher. The latter, played by The Walking Dead alumnus Jon Bernthal, quickly became the scene stealer of Season 2, with fans actually taking the side of the murderous weapons expert. Now it appears that Netflix and Marvel have heard this reaction, and are taking a big step forward to give more Punisher to the people.
Netflix has just announced that The Punisher has been officially ordered as a spinoff to Daredevil on the streaming service. The new series will mark the sixth overall Marvel series, in addition to the previously announced four series which will culminate into the Defenders miniseries.
Jon Bernthal will reprise his role as the captivatingly conflicted Frank Castle, as he begins his vigilante career as The Punisher in Hell’s Kitchen. The finale saw Castle briefly donning The Punisher costume and saving Daredevil’s life during the final conflict with The Hand. Steve Lightfoot, who is best known for his work as an EP for Hannibal will be the The Punisher's showrunner.
