15 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Still To Come In 2017

2. The Punisher

After his stunning introduction in Daredevil Season 2, Jon Bernthal's The Punisher is getting his own series, which could be just what the Netflix Marvel Universe needs this year.

After two series focused on the Hand, this should be a refreshing, grounded, and very, very dark take on the genre, with a deep dive into one of Marvel's more brutal and fascinating characters.

It'll be great to see Bernthal back in the role, and he's joined by the likes of Ben Barnes, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and the return of Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page, while Hannibal's Steve Lightfoot serves as showrunner.

Air Date: TBC (expected November)
