<P> Filming began on October 3, 2016 in Brooklyn, New York, under the working title Crime . Additional filming took place in Astoria, Queens in December 2016 . Filming wrapped on April 9, 2017 . </P> <P> In April 2017, Tyler Bates was announced as the composer for The Punisher, after previously composing for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 . In order to "get into the dark corners of the Punisher's mind," Bates played "more of a broken blues" guitar, which was augmented with talkbox effects and other "guitar noises", along with guitar - vol and melodica . On this style, Bates said, "The rough edges and broken nature of (music like this) leaves a great deal of space for emotion and interesting color--and a bit of an attitude . Otherwise it's not going to be an authentic expression of the idea . There's a darkness in there that I'm happy to tap into ." </P> <P> The Punisher is scheduled to be released in 2017 on the streaming service Netflix, worldwide . The 13 hour - long episodes will be released simultaneously, as opposed to a serialized format, to encourage binge - watching, a format which has been successful for other Netflix series . In July 2016, Netflix COO Ted Sarandos stated that The Punisher would not debut until 2018 at the earliest, after The Defenders released on August 18, 2017, but that October, Marvel confirmed a 2017 release instead . </P> <P> In early September 2017, Dominic Patten and Denise Petski of Deadline.com commented on the lack of specific release date for the series at the time, calling it "an unusual", "rare move for Marvel and Netflix, who usually give a lot of lead - up to the launch of the high profile and much anticipated series ." The pair felt with the increased marketing of the series, it would release "sooner rather than later". Allison Keene of Collider felt Marvel and Netflix holding back the release date was "really weird and unnecessary...If you're excited for this show, you'll watch it whenever it appears . For TV editors who have to plan reviews and other content, it's just irritating ." Polygon's Susana Polo felt Marvel and Netflix were waiting for their panel at New York Comic Con 2017 during the first weekend of October to reveal the series' release date, as the convention had been used in previous years to reveal "breaking fall Marvel / Netflix news". </P>
