Jon Bernthal's Punisher is set for a triumphant return in a Marvel special, following the conclusion of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1. This standalone adventure, described as a "shotgun blast of a story," will blend intense action with the emotional depth fans expect from Frank Castle. Bernthal himself is co-writing the special with We Own This City director Reinaldo Marcus Green, promising a unique and thrilling experience. Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television, calls it "so exciting."

The Punisher's one-shot special arrives as Marvel Television gears up to bring back the Defenders on Disney+. This team of street-level heroes—Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist—previously appeared on Netflix before transitioning to Disney+ and becoming integrated into the MCU canon. Winderbaum acknowledges the creative challenges of adapting comic book storylines for television, but expresses excitement about exploring the possibilities within the MCU sandbox.
Daredevil: Born Again, premiering March 4th, continues the Daredevil saga begun on Netflix, featuring returning characters like the Punisher and Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin. This time, they face a unique threat: the artistically inclined serial killer, Muse.
