The Punisher Season 1

The Punisher, a new TV series based on the original Marvel Universe character, is going to appear on Netflix. It’s the sixth time when Marvel and Netflix collaborate to create something worthy. Frank Castle, nicknamed The Punisher, will be portrayed by Jon Bernthal. He, by the way, played a major character in the second season of Daredevil. It will most likely be a very dark and violent series to follow-up from his reputation in Daredevil. That follows a trend of Marvel shows produced for Netflix, which can be quite explicit.
Several months ago, TV Line revealed that the show was in development and so there were rumors about what it could be. Only now has it been officially confirmed that we will see more of the brutal personality of Frank Castle.
