History

Marvel's The Punisher is a Netflix series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, based on the character of Frank Castle / The Punisher, who was introduced in the second season of Marvel's Daredevil.

In June 2015, Jon Bernthal was cast as the Punisher in a supporting role in the second season of Marvel's Daredevil, opposite Charlie Cox as Daredevil.[2] Development on a stand-alone Punisher series began in January 2016, ahead of the character's debut in the second season of Marvel's Daredevil.[3]

In April 2016, Netflix ordered a full 13-episode season for Marvel's The Punisher, and confirmed the involvement of Bernthal and Steve Lightfoot, the latter of whom would serve as the series' showrunner.[4].

Filming took place in New York from October 2016 to April 2017, under the working title Crime.[5][6] Music composer for Guardians of the Galaxy and its sequel, Tyler Bates was hired to score the series, following the end of production.[7].

In October 2016, Marvel confirmed a 2017 release for the series.[8] Although originally planned to have a surprise release in October 2017, Marvel and Netflix announced the series' launch would be postponed following the 2017 Las Vegas Strip shooting.[9] This announcement came one day after Marvel decided to pull a panel for The Punisher from that year's New York City Comic Con.[10]

On December 12, 2017, it was announced via Twitter that the series had been renewed for a second season.[11] Filming for the second season began on March 9, 2018,[12] and wrapped on August 11, 2018.[13] Josh Stewart, Floriana Lima, and Giorgia Whigham joined the main cast for the second season.[1] On January 3, 2018, it was announced that the second season would be released on January 18, 2018.[14]

On February 18, 2019, it was announced that this series, along with Marvel's Jessica Jones, had been canceled after two seasons.[15]
