Rumors of cancellation notwithstanding, Frank Castle is back on Netflix to continue explaining the difference between punishment and vengeance with his fists (and a variety of weapons).

Netflix’ The Punisher: the lowdown
Frank Castle fights on in Marvel’s TV adaptation, sharing the Marvel Cinematic Universe with other efforts across TV and film. It’s the second season, and kicks off with Castle burning the presidential pardon he received at the end of last season as part of his agreement with Homeland Security. The message? ‘Back to work.’
Season two will see Castle fighting new villains, and meeting new allies, as he moves out of New York and takes his show on the road across America.
Who’s who: The Punisher Cast
Jon Bernthal returns for a second season as Frank Castle, along with Marvel standby Royce Johnson, reprising the Brett Mahoney role he played in Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
Season two also introduces some new characters, including Krista Dumont, a psychiatrist specializing in veterans, who will be played by Supergirl actress Floriana Lima. There’s even a kind of love interest for Castle, in the person of Beth Quinn (played by Alexa Davalos), a single mother who runs Lola’s Roadhouse.
Ben Barnes plays Billy Russo, Amber Rose Revah will play Dinah Madani and Josh Stewart plays John Pilgrim.
Where can you watch The Punisher?
All 13 episodes of The Pubisher season 2 were released on Netflix on January 18 this year. The show’s a Netflix Original, so it’s available across all regions. If you have a Netflix account, you should be able to binge The Punisher to your heart’s content, wherever you are.
But if you do run into problems, consider using a VPN.
A VPN disguises your location by changing your IP address, making it look to websites — including Netflix — like you’re somewhere else. In theory all you have to do is open your VPN, connect to a server in the USA and you’re good to go.
But not all VPNs are effective at unblocking content. Some work intermittently, others not at all. Which should you use?
Again, you should have no problems with The Punisher wherever you are in the world. But if you do, or you have other shows you want to watch but can’t access, we recommend NordVPN.
"A speedy VPN that's very easy to use and covers basic privacy needs well enough"
- Excellent available variety of servers
- Servers are fast and secure
- Offers six connections
Nord isn’t the fastest VPN, or the most secure — though it scores highly in both categories. The main thing it has going for it is that it reliably unblocks georestricted content across a huge range of streaming services worldwide.
