Daredevil: Born Again season 1 finale's post-credits sets up The Punisher special
The Daredevil: Born Again season 1 finale includes a key scene with the Punisher, setting up a special coming next year. Frank Castle returns to help Matt Murdock after a call from Karen Page. He joins Matt in fighting Fisk’s anti-vigilante task force and faces off against the cops who idolize him.
But during the fight, Frank is overpowered and wakes up tied to a chair. Officer Powell tells him the team looks up to him, but Frank rejects them, which angers the cops. He’s knocked out again and later chained in Wilson Fisk’s secret prison with other captured vigilantes
In the post-credits scene for the episode, Frank then lures a cop into his cell and kills him, actively escaping from there. Leaving his story on a cliffhanger, Daredevil: Born Again sets up the upcoming Punisher special in a huge way, and fans can certainly expect to see Frank Castle's story continue there.
Jon Bernthal promises a "no-holds-barred" special for The Punisher
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly on March 18, 2025, Jon Bernthal opened up about the upcoming special that he is working on. While discussing his return in the new Daredevil series, Bernthal promised how fans will get to see a "no-holds-barred" version of Frank Castle in the upcoming special.
"The story that we've laid out is, I think, really special. It's the visceral, psychologically complex, unforgiving, no-holds-barred version of Frank where he's going to turn his back to the audience," said Bernthal.
He continued:
"And nothing is easy and all violence has a cost, and we're going to see that cost. I'm grateful that they're letting me go to the places that I really want to go."
The special is confirmed to be released next year on Disney+, but a particular release date for it hasn't been announced yet. At the moment, season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again is shooting as well in New York, which is also confirmed to come out next on Disney+.
