Every Upcoming Superhero TV Show Of 2017 - Ranked By Anticipation

2. The Punisher - Season 1

Another Marvel/Netflix series, although this time standing apart from The Defenders (to a degree, anyway, since he might cameo there). There's been a great clamour for a solo Punisher series since Jon Bernthal delivered a definitive take on the character in Daredevil Season 2, and that wish is being granted this year.

Fleshing out Frank Castle, it'll see how he decides to become a vigilante after the death of his family, using lethal means to get results. Castle is a fascinating character, so really diving into his psyche will make for a compelling study.

And while the Netflix shows are dark already, this should go to new depths entirely, delivering the most violent and brutal Marvel series yet.
