With Jessica Jones and Luke Cage returning to Netflix later this year, another Marvel drama is preparing for its second season. The Punisher has announced Josh Stewart (The Dark Knight Rises), Floriana Lima (Supergirl) and Giorgia Whigham (Scream) will join the cast as series regulars for season two.

Stewart is set to be John Pilgrim, “a man whose calm exterior belies a ruthless interior. Despite having left behind a life of violence, circumstances will force him to use his old skills and bring him into Frank Castle’s world.”
