The Punisher Season 3: Is it Confirmed or Cancelled on Netflix?
The Punisher will not return for a third season on Netflix, the streaming service announced to Deadline today.
Punisher is one of Marvel’s most popular characters. Fans adored the first two seasons of The Punisher. According to premieredates.com, the third season of Punisher will not be released, at least for some time, as the show has been canceled. After Daredevil and Kingpin’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans are excited to see which additional Marvel Netflix characters Disney+ will bring back under Marvel Studios and use in the MCU.
The cancellation was a surprise to many fans anxiously awaiting the upcoming season. This is especially true for those who binge-watched all three seasons and desired more of this gritty, dark take on superheroes. During The Punisher’s run on Netflix, Jon Bernthal’s portrayal of Frank Castle was universally regarded as one of the best in any Marvel franchise.
What prompted Netflix to cancel The Punisher is still unknown, although a crowded environment of superhero properties now available on many platforms may have played a role.
