New characters
Floriana Lima, the actress known for her role as Maggie Sawyer in Supergirl will join the series to play a recurring role. She will be Krista Dumont, a compassionate and motivated psychotherapist for military veterans.
But she will not be the only one to join the series, because Josh Steward (Shooter) and Giorgia Whigham (Scream) will also be in the game. Steward was cast as John Pilgrim, a man who left behind a life of violence. But he will be forced to regain his old abilities and enter the world of Frank Castle. As for Giorgia Whigham, she will be Amy Bendix, a clever street scammer with a mysterious past.
"Josh, Floriana and Giorgia are all outstanding talents and we can't wait for audiences to see what's in store for them," said Marvel TV chief Jeph Loeb.
The series back soon?
The production of this second season started at the end of the month, and should extend until July. It's not yet clear if showrunner Steve Lightfoot will stay, or exactly what this season will be about. But one thing is certain, The Punisher remains on Netflix despite the launch of the new Disney platform!
We do not yet know the release date of this season 2 on Netflix, but it is not expected before 2019. Jon Bernthal, Ben Barnes, Amber Rose Revah and Jason R. Moore will be back.
