The Punisher
In a recent interview, Irish director Dearbhla Walsh revealed that she directed an episode for Netflix’s new Marvel series “The Punisher” just before Christmas last year.
More importantly, she added that her episode is not airing until November which would suggest an October or November launch of the series on the streaming giant. Netflix has yet to officially announce a launch date for the series.

“Punisher” To Be The MCU’s Darkest Corner
Jon Bernthal stole the show as Frank Castle, aka. The Punisher, in the early part of the second season of Marvel & Netflix’s “Daredevil”. HIs appearance there though and the storyline that unfolded leads to an obvious question – where now?
With the ultra-violent character’s tragic origins explained and his storyline partly resolved by the season’s end, where does he go next? Speaking with EW, Bernthal says part of the storyline is exploring the aftermath of what happens after you’ve successfully achieved vengeance:
“This season is much darker as it goes, it gets darker and darker and more visceral. The show takes you on this journey of Frank becoming more and more human again and then shutting off and shutting off and going back to what works for him, and the place where he kind of belongs, and I think that’s a place of solitude and of darkness and destruction. It’s going to get into as dark and as brutal a place as you’ve ever seen in the Marvel world, I can promise you that.”
Bernthal also stressed he wanted to be respectful of the military community who, like Frank, may be dealing with the long-term mental consequences of war. “Marvel & Netflix’s Punisher” series debuts sometime later this year.
In related news, filming on the second season of fellow Marvel/Netflix series “Jessica Jones” has just wrapped after five months in production.

I just started episode 2, and so far, this show is amazing. The series
As far as I'm concerned, this is must see TV.
starts with Frank going off to kill a shot load of bad guys, then we have a slow burn episode of him trying to lay low while living under an assumed identity, due to him having been reported dead. When he gets back in the game, it's brutal, just how a Punisher story should be.

- Marvel’s “Punisher” Scores A Renewal
Netflix has officially announced the renewal of “Marvel’s The Punisher” for a second season.
Reviews for the first season were mixed at best, but a step up from the disastrous reception that “Iron Fist” received earlier this year. The season was released in full on the streaming service on November 17th.
When it will air is unclear. Netflix has three Marvel shows set for next year – “Jessica Jones” S2 in March, “Luke Cage” S2 mid-year and “Daredevil” S3 in late 2018, with “Iron Fist” S2 on the way for early 2019. That means a “Punisher” S2 debut is unlikely until mid-2019.
Check out a newly released featurette for the first season below:

New character breakdowns for the second season of “Marvel’s The Punisher” on Netflix have gone online, breakdowns that suggest the series will adapt Garth Ennis’ acclaimed “The Slavers” story arc from the mid-2000s. That storyline sees Frank Castle trying to take down a sex trafficking ring.
Marvel is looking for two series regulars to play the characters of 16-year-old street urchin Annie Bier and thirtysomething therapist Kim Davis. The site which broke the news suggests the characters are stand-ins for Viorica and Jen Cooke from the comics.

“The Punisher” S2 To Air On Netflix In January
As part of the company’s announcements of Netflix’s January 2019 titles, the company has also dropped a brief tease for the second season of “Marvel’s The Punisher” indicating it arrives next month.
Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle prepares to continue his war on crime in the new episodes, but the company didn’t include an official air date so it’s not clear when specifically it will return within January.
Following the cancellation of three out of five Marvel series, it’s widely expected Netflix will announce this show’s cancellation shortly after the new episodes are released on the service.
Annette O’Toole, Corbin Bernsen, Giorgia Whigham, Floriana Lima and Josh Stewart join the cast for the new episodes.

Marvel's The Punisher Season 2 "Back to Work" Teaser (HD)

Member: Rank 8
Season 2 was incredible. Frank, assumed dead because of a deal with the ATF, is traveling the country under an assumed name - again. He meets a bartender (and gets laid), and comes clean with her about who he is, promising he's done with his former life. He meets her son, who he immediately gets on with, and he even changes his plans of leaving town. But the second night at the bar changes everything when he steps in to save a young woman from a group of hired killers.
The show has grown, but the one issue I had with this season was that it felt like they had two separate stories going on. He becomes a target for a man known as Pilgrim, an overly religious man with a violent past who acts as muscle for a group who use their clout to buy their way into politics. He also has to deal with Billy "Jigsaw" Russo, who has escaped from the hospital he was in, and is trying to regain his memory of what happened to him. So the two storylines keep bumping up against each other, so much so that Frank's buddy even makes a comment about how the two things have nothing to do with on another. But even with that, I was very happy with how the season went, and the ending was just about perfect.

Netflix Cancels “The Punisher,” “Jessica Jones”
It’s official. A month on from the launch of the second season of “The Punisher,” Netflix has officially axed both it and “Jessica Jones” – its last two remaining Marvel series.
There will be no third season of “The Punisher,” while the yet-to-air third season of “Jessica Jones” arrives at a TBA 2019 date. The cancellation brings to a close the multi-series and multi-year agreement forged between Netflix and Marvel which was announced five years ago.
An official Netflix spokesman has issued a statement to Deadline:
“Marvel’s The Punisher will not return for a third season on Netflix. Showrunner Steve Lightfoot, the terrific crew, and exceptional cast including star Jon Bernthal, delivered an acclaimed and compelling series for fans, and we are proud to showcase their work on Netflix for years to come.
In addition, in reviewing our Marvel programming, we have decided that the upcoming third season will also be the final season for Marvel’s Jessica Jones. We are grateful to showrunner Melissa Rosenberg, star Krysten Ritter and the entire cast and crew, for three incredible seasons of this groundbreaking series, which was recognized by the Peabody Awards among many others.
We are grateful to Marvel for five years of our fruitful partnership and thank the passionate fans who have followed these series from the beginning.”
The axings of “Iron Fist,” “Luke Cage” and “Daredevil” all came shortly after their most recent seasons went to air, so “The Punisher” cancellation was expected – that ‘Jones’ got it as well before the new season aired is a surprise.
All shows were produced by the Jeph Loeb-run Marvel TV which closed a similar four-series and one special arrangement, albeit in animated form, with the soon-to-be Disney majority owned Hulu the other week. Marvel Studios meanwhile is spearheading multiple shows for the Disney+ streaming service.
Whether any of these shows will be resurrected remains in question, though doubtful. Exclusivity contracts mean Netflix will own the rights to these takes for at least a few years to come and if the characters are to come back, reboots are more likely than revivals.
Loeb has also penned an open letter on Marvel.com thanking fans for their love of the shows and teasing the future with the line: “Our network partner may have decided they no longer want to continue telling the tales of these great characters… but you know Marvel better than that.”
