For a man who usually prefers to operate alone, Frank Castle's (Jon Bernthal) second season world is about to get a little too cozy for comfort. Netflix has announced that Josh Stewart (Shooter), Floriana Lima (Supergirl) and Giorgia Whigham (Scream) will be joining the cast of Marvel's The Punisher for season 2 as new series regulars. The three will be joining Bernthal and returning cast members Ben Barnes (Billy Russo), Amber Rose Revah (Dinah Madani) and Jason R. Moore (Curtis Hoyle).

"Josh, Floriana and Giorgia are all remarkable talents and we can't wait for the audience to see what we have in store for them in the second season of Marvel's The Punisher."

– Jeph Loeb, Marvel Television / Executive Producer, The Punisher

Based on exclusive reporting from Deadline Hollywood, Stewart's (Insidious: The Last Key) John Pilgrim is described as a man whose calm exterior belies a ruthless interior. Despite having left behind a life of violence, circumstances will force him to use his old skills and bring him into Frank Castle's world. Lima's (Lethal Weapon) Krista Dumont is a smart, compassionate, and driven psychotherapist for military veterans; while Whigham's (Sierra Burgess is a Loser) Amy Bendix is street-smart grifter with a mysterious past.

"We are incredibly excited to have Josh, Floriana and Giorgia joining the cast of Marvel's The Punisher and seeing them bring their talents to the next chapter in the Frank Castle story."  – Steve Lightfoot, Executive Producer/Showrunner, The Punisher
