'The Punisher' Season 2 Has Started Filming, First Photos Surface
The Punisher is back in action as the second season of the Marvel’s Netflix series begins filming.
Photos have surfaced from where star Jon Bernthal has returned to work playing Frank Castle. The Punisher is currently filming in the Bellmores in New York.
The Punisher Season Two will also bring back Ben Barnes, Amber Rose Revah, and Jason R. Moore. Barnes’ return is particularly interesting for Marvel Comics fans since the conclusion of The Punisher Season One set the character up to fully become his villainous alter ego Jigsaw, the Punisher’s archenemy.
When will season 2 of "The Punisher" released?
The Punisher season one was released on November 17, 2017 and all 13 episode dropped at once.
The series started filming in October 2016 and wrapped on April 2017.
Season one of Daredevil was released in April 2015 and season two in March 2016 - so based on that scheduling, it is fair to say that we can expect the second season of The Punished to be released roughly a year after season one.
Meaning that we could be looking at an October 2018 release.
Josh Stewart (Shooter), Floriana Lima (Supergirl) and Giorgia Whigham (Scream) have been cast as new series regulars for the upcoming second season of Marvel’s The Punisher on Netflix.
The Punisher stars Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, a former Marine who’s out to punish the criminals responsible for his family’s murder and finds himself ensnared in a military conspiracy.
Stewart will play John Pilgrim, a man whose calm exterior belies a ruthless interior. Despite having left behind a life of violence, circumstances will force him to use his old skills and bring him into Frank Castle’s world. Lima will portray Krista Dumont, a smart, compassionate and driven psychotherapist for military veterans. Whigham will play Amy Bendix, a street-smart grifter with a mysterious past.
"Josh, Floriana and Giorgia are all remarkable talents and we can’t wait for the audience to see what we have in store for them in the second season of Marvel’s The Punisher,” Jeph Loeb, executive producer and head of Marvel Television, said in a statement to Deadline.
Along with Bernthal, Ben Barnes (Billy Russo), Amber Rose Revah (Dinah Madani), and Jason R. Moore (Curtis Hoyle) are all returning for the new season.
Two specific character descriptions have just leaked online courtesy of That Hashtag Show. Both female characters, one is named Annie Beir, while the other is called Kim. Annie is described as a teenage girl who is used to living on the streets; she's "scrappy" and "aware of her environment." On the other hand, Kim Davis is described as a woman in her mid-30s who works as a therapist.
When looking at how these characters may factor into Season 2 of The Punisher, one story arc that very clearly comes to mind is Garth Ennis' The Slavers, which ran from 2005 to 2006 in the Punisher MAX line of comics. The story specifically focuses on Frank going after a human trafficking operation (something that was addressed in Daredevil as well), and it deals heavily with the protection of escaped sex slaves. Annie could be a stand-in for The Slavers' Viorica, while Kim's character description seems to share numerous similarities to the character Jen Cooke from the same storyline.
None of this necessarily means that we will see an adaptation of The Slavers on The Punisher, but the evidence definitely supports that possibility. Garth Ennis' writing has consistently stood out as a clear inspiration for many of the storylines that have featured Frank Castle in the Netflix corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and showrunner Steven Lightfoot has already expressed an interest in adapting more Ennis characters like Barracuda and Kathryn O'Brien. For The Punisher to potentially dive back into that well for Season 2 makes quite a bit of sense.
In addition to the possibility of The Slavers receiving an adaptation, rumors have also suggested that a police officer named Marvin Skelling may enter the picture during Season 2 of The Punisher. Although we cannot confirm this yet, some have theorized that this could turn out to be Detective Soap -- a longtime ally of Frank Castle in the NYPD. Soap has appeared in numerous Punisher storylines over the years, and he even made his live-action debut in 2008's Punisher: War Zone. If Soap does show up, then it stands to reason that The Punisher's second season may blend The Slavers with other storylines as well, creating an adaptation that's not entirely a 1:1 take on the source material.
