Marvel's 'The Punisher' to Become Netflix Original Series

Marvel's The Punisher is joining the glut of comic book franchises recently spun into television series on Netflix. 

Entertainment Weekly reports that Netflix has ordered The Punisher into its ongoing collaboration with the comic empire, so fans of vigilante justice and caped crusaders can now rejoice (again). The show will join the ranks of hits like Jessica Jones and Daredevil, in addition to the forthcoming reboots of Iron Fist, Luke Cage and The Defenders, which are slated to hit the streaming service at some point this or next year. EW has provided a bit of primer on the news, which can be watched above.
