What is the release date for The Punisher: One Last Kill on Disney+?
- The Punisher: One Last Kill premieres on Disney+ today, May 12, 2026, with Jon Bernthal reprising his role as Frank Castle in this new Marvel Television special.
- Bernthal describes this special as a "visceral, psychologically complex" version of the vigilante, following Frank as he comes to terms with his identity amid a bleak period in his life.
- Running around 60 minutes, the special features Curtis Hoyle asking, "You think God's gonna forgive us for the things we've done?" with Frank replying, "I'm not sure about me, but you? You ain't got a f---ing chance."
- One Last Kill shares the same "time and space" as Daredevil: Born Again season one, according to Head of Marvel Television Brad Winderbaum, and leads directly into Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
- Bernthal explained that Frank is currently "enveloped in hopelessness," though he hopes to guide the vigilante toward justice—a journey the actor acknowledged will not be easy.
