Netflix renews ‘Marvel’s The Punisher’ for second season

Frank Castle lives to fight another day. Netflix just renewed Marvel’s The Punisher for season 2. The streaming service made the announcement on the show’s Facebook page with a post that says “Season 2 is coming.” Jon Berthal, who plays Castle, was particularly enthused to play the role initially. He told Variety, “Fully candid, being part of a superhero franchise was not something that I really had an ambition towards; it wasn’t really on my radar.” He got onboard when he played a part in Marvel’s Daredevil, which is one of the six Marvel shows we have on Netflix now. The other four being The Defenders, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage.
