Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle is getting his own series on Netflix.

“The Punisher is back. Locked and loaded.” the streaming service tweeted on April 29th, confirming rumours that have been flying around since it was confirmed the character would appear on the second season of Daredevil.

Steve Lightfoot (Hannibal) will be Executive Producer and Showrunner in addition to writing the series’ first two episodes.

“We want to thank the fans who are clamoring for more of Jon’s stunning and powerful performance as Frank Castle from ‘Marvel’s Daredevil,’” Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb said. “Now combined with Showrunner Steve Lightfoot’s compelling writing, we’re thrilled to bring ‘Marvel’s The Punisher’ to Netflix.”

“Jon hooked our global audience with his performance as Frank Castle from the moment he stepped on screen in ‘Marvel’s Daredevil,’ and we are looking forward to seeing more of him in this role under the vision of Steve Lightfoot,” Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content added.

“For me, the complexity and unpredictability of Frank Castle make him an incredibly compelling character and I couldn’t be more excited to dive into his world,” Executive Producer and Showrunner, Steve Lightfoot said. “After watching Jon’s performance in ‘Marvel’s Daredevil’ I could not be more excited to be working with him to further develop and progress the story of this anti-hero in a show of his own.”
