Every Netflix Original Series Still To Come In 2017 - Ranked By Anticipation

2. The Punisher

The second exception to the rule about fixed dates, Netflix are being deliberately coy on just when The Punisher will be hitting. Normally we know long in advance when a Marvel series is hitting and yet, despite a promotion blitz of trailers, teasers, and images, we still don't know when this will arrive.

What we do know, though, is that it looks and sounds pretty great. A deviation from The Defenders-line, with Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page the only real link (and no Hand, mercifully), the show is going to be darker and more brutally violent than anything we've seen from the MCU so far. Jon Bernthal was great in Daredevil Season 2, and there's a lot of excitement to see how a Frank Castle solo series plays out.

Release Date: TBC
