We’ve known for a while that Netflix was working on new Marvel TV series based around Frank Castle, better known as The Punisher. The character made its debut in the second season of Daredevil and it seems that the character was so well-received that Netflix decided to give it its own series.

For those who can’t wait to check out what the series has in store for them, you’ll be pleased to learn that Netflix has since released the official trailer for the upcoming show. The Punisher TV series on Netflix will see actor Jon Bernthal reprise his role as Frank Castle as well as Ebon Moss-Bachrach who has been cast as Microchip, an ally of Frank Castle.

It also appears that based on the trailer that Deborah Ann Woll will be making an appearance in the series, who for those unfamiliar plays the role of Karen Page in the Daredevil series. Unfortunately there is no mention of a release date yet, but Netflix does state that they plan to release the series this year, and given that we’re almost in October, we reckon it shouldn’t be too far off.

That being said, if you recall Disney recently confirmed that Marvel and Star Wars related shows are expected to eventually be an exclusive to Disney’s own streaming service, so we wonder if the partnership with Netflix is expected to continue through some kind of some special deal or exemption.
