what's the release date for the punisher on netflix?
november 17
in early september 2017, dominic patten and denise petski of "deadline hollywood" commented on the lack of specific release date for the season at the time, calling it "an unusual" and "rare move for marvel and netflix, who usually give a lot of lead-up to the launch" of their high profile series. the pair felt with the increased marketing of the season, it would release "sooner rather than later". allison keene of collider expressed irritation at this because she and other television journalists were unable to plan content without knowing the release date, while fans anticipating the series would watch it "whenever it appears" regardless of when the date is announced. "polygon"s susana polo felt marvel and netflix would announce the date at their scheduled new york comic con 2017 panel in october, as the convention had been used in previous years to reveal "breaking fall marvel/netflix news". it was soon reported that this was indeed the case, with netflix planning a surprise "drop" release of the season after the new york comic con panel, mimicking a strategy from the music industry where an artist's album is released "with little or no fanfare". however, marvel and netflix decided to delay the release of the season to later in 2017 following the las vegas shooting and subsequent cancelling of the panel. two weeks later, the november 17 release was announced.
