Netflix cancels Marvel's 'The Punisher' & 'Jessica Jones'

Netflix

With Disney gearing up to launch its own streaming service, it comes as no surprise that Netflix is letting go of the last two Marvel shows in its roster. The streaming service just announced that it is cancelling both The Punisher and Jessica Jones. The Punisher just finished its second season, while Jessica Jones has one more season coming out.

Netflix said in a statement, "Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’ will not return for a third season on Netflix. Showrunner Steve Lightfoot, the terrific crew, and exceptional cast including star Jon Bernthal, delivered an acclaimed and compelling series for fans, and we are proud to showcase their work on Netflix for years to come. In addition, in reviewing our Marvel programming, we have decided that the upcoming third season will also be the final season for Marvel’s ‘Jessica Jones.’ We are grateful to showrunner Melissa Rosenberg, star Krysten Ritter and the entire cast and crew, for three incredible seasons of this groundbreaking series, which was recognized by the Peabody Awards among many others. We are grateful to Marvel for five years of our fruitful partnership and thank the passionate fans who have followed these series from the beginning.”

Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’ gets final trailer ahead of release

We’re just a few days shy from the release of the second season of The Punisher. And it looks just as bloody as ever. We hear more from friend-turned-foe Jigsaw (Ben Barnes) in this season as he seeks revenge against Frank Castle a.k.a. The Punisher (Jon Bernthal). He wants The Punisher “to feel what I felt.” Whether he makes good on that promise, we’ll probably find out in this season. What we still don’t know at this point is whether this show will come back for another season. Only time will tell. Marvel’s The Punisher will start streaming on January 18th.

Netflix to bring back ‘The Punisher’ on January 18th

Following the release of a cryptic teaser a couple of days ago, Netflix announced the release date of The Punisher’s second season. The Marvel show will be coming back to the streaming service on January 18th. We get to venture into Frank Castle’s story one more time. To tide you over before the show’s release, take a peek at the teaser trailer above. The Punisher is one of the last two Marvel shows still standing on Netflix. Will this be the last season for the show? We’re bound to find out soon.

Netflix teases 2nd season of ‘The Punisher,’ show said to be ‘coming soon’

And then there were two. And by this, we mean the last two Marvel TV shows on Netflix: Jessica Jones and The Punisher. While we don’t know the fate of the former, the latter is at least getting a second season. Netflix just teased the second season of The Punisher with a video of Castle burning the pardon he received at the end of the first season. This means he isn’t giving up his role as the Punisher. The streaming service didn’t say when it’s coming out and opted to just say “Coming Soon.” Will the show have a life on the service beyond the second season, we aren’t sure either. One by one, Netflix has been cancelling its Marvel shows, perhaps in response to Disney (Marvel’s parent company) putting up its own streaming service. We also don’t know if these shows will get a second life on Disney’s own service. Only time will tell at this point.
