We had some previous evidence that Marvel's Punisher Netflix series could be released in 2017, but now we have it officially confirmed from Marvel itself that the released date is valid!

While revealing the new actors joining The Punisher cast, Marvel.com confirmed that 2017 will be the premiere year. That will mark the first time Marvel is releasing three Netflix series in one year; the pattern so far has been two per year. 2017 will also bring Iron Fist and The Defenders team-up miniseries, both of which made big impressions at this year's New York Comic-Con.

Hardcore fans know that Punisher has already been filming around New York City for a bit, so it's not shocking to hear that Netflix will be airing the series next year.
