The Punisher [1] is officially getting a second season! Netflix announced the news on Tuesday via Twitter [2], writing, "Time to reload. #ThePunisher Season 2 is coming." It's especially exciting news for fans of Marvel's gun-toting vigilante [3] because Disney (which owns Marvel) is starting a streaming service of their own. Luckily, it appears Netflix's Marvel properties are staying put.

The first season of The Punisher follows Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal [7]) on his gruesome crusade for vengeance, as well as the tragic backstory [8] that prompts it. Hannibal's Steve Lightfoot served as showrunner on season one and is expected to return for season two along with Jeph Loeb's producing team. A premiere date is still up in the air, but with new seasons of Jessica Jones [9], Daredevil, and Iron Fist also on the way at the streaming giant, we probably have a long, long time to wait.
