Prime time might want to brace itself for a different kind of Castle.
Fox is aiming to make a TV series featuring Marvel comic book character The Punisher. The procedural drama would center on New York City detective Frank Castle, who seeks justice on the side as a merciless vigilante named The Punisher.
The project — which has been given a pilot commitment with a penalty if it doesn’t air – is from Ed Bernero (Third Watch, Criminal Minds), who is also developing a sci-fi western titled The Eye at ABC.
I have been saying for years this should have been on TV. The character is a perfect fit for the lil screen. I just hope they do it right more like Jack Bauer then one of those CSI shows.
