“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,’” said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. “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,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content.
“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,” said Executive Producer and Showrunner, Steve Lightfoot. “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.”

Yeah!
Just finished the graveyard episode, simply awesome. Probably the best and most well acted scene in anything related to comic books, TV or movie.
Netflix is just nailing the comic book stuff. Really wish they could monopolize it, these stories work so much better as a long series than a rushed 2 hour movie featuring too many characters.

Netflix made Frank Castle one of the most complex characters I have seen in a long time. That scene in the grave yard was amazing. Daredevil for me is the best show on TV/Stream and I think Punisher will be up there as well... Jessica Jhones... Meh.

Ya know.. I actually wouldn't mind seeing the comic book stuff take this route more than a pushing a 2 hour movie every summer. Maybe use Netflix to build up to a big movie like a Justice League or Avengers type movie
never cared for daredevil and not a big comic guy, but I like the actor and the character of punisher.

I'd say yes

It'd be worth watching Season 2 of Daredevil if you're a Punisher fan.

Daredevil was/is excellent television. Must watch imo.
