It's about time the only marvel character I care about gets his own show.
Matt must be rock hard about this. You know who I'm talking about.

Hopefully they just start earmarking Ennis graphic novels, but I have a hard time believing they can do any of those justice without lifting the wafer thin restrictions on content that Marvel has.
Welcome Back Frank is do-able, though. But that's also kinda nuts. Punching out bears and shit.

yesssssssss
I know they technically are. I still think that the shows I've seen are infinitely more interesting and better written than any of the movies.
Welcome Back Frank is the most obvious choice, except I feel they alreadyy kinda did that vibe on Jessica Jones with the weird neighbours. Ma Gucci would be fun tho, and completely doable, shes just some batshit crazy mob boss.
They have polar bears in the NY zoo right?
Totally agree. They could learn from the comics. Instead of having one central storyline for an entire season, break it up into smaller arcs.
Gotham does it right. They have multiple layers of storyline without having to stretch one central theme. Other superhero shows could learn a lot from Gotham's format.

Awesome news. I was wishing for this after watching season 2.

I agree, but again, I'm not sure with the (silly) restrictions Marvel has in place for its output that you can properly adapt that shit.
And I don't know that I want the writers to attempt entirely original stories either, although that might be the easiest way forward considering the constraints they have to work with.

Greg Rucka's run would lend itself well to TV, I think.
As much as I like MAX I don't know that I would want to see 30-something Frank doing stories that in many ways hinge on him being 60.
Plus Rucka's run has Big Boss Punisher + Rachel:

this is not a surprise. Hopefully Jigsaw is the main antagonist.
Microchip was teased at the end of DD S02,

You WILL get 13 and there WILL be filler and you'll fucking take it
Great news! Me and my wife called it the moment he showed up in season 2 of Daredevil and fucking killed it as Punisher. Such an amazing performance.
Netflix is becoming a real powerhouse with these Marvel shows, as long as the quality remains as high as it's been with DD seasons 1 and 2, and Jessica Jones (I loved that one too; very different and super dark compared to the other shows).

We going to Russia, eddie.
Hopefully we'll get a take on Brubaker's Devil in Cell Block D one day.

Fuck yes. As others have said, he was the best part of Daredevil Season 2. Gonna be fucking good.
Mother Russia would be amazing. Even moreso if they got Sam Jackson back for Fury and do it up right.

Pretty sure they start shooting the Defenders this fall. So a late spring/early summer premiere. Then Netflix Phase 2?

Nice!
Now where is DD season 3?
Now where is DD season 3?
The potential is high but the writing still needs to be good. The crime genre certainly has deep roots and there's endless variety and content to use, but TV history has mostly dealt with cops and PI's instead of vigilantes. Plus there's the rest of the Marvel universe to use beyond just "normal" crime.
I don't think there is going to be anything especially groundbreaking, but there is more than enough crime variety and story possibilities to maintain a Punisher series for a few successful seasons.

I started liking him after watching the Wolf of Wall Street; but yeah, I was in the same boat as you.
I've seen daredevil season 2 around 3 times.

I might have prefered him to stay an antagonist in DD. Curious to see how this turns out.
