‘The Punisher: One Last Kill’
After returning as Mikey last week in “Gary,” the surprise new episode of “The Bear,” Jon Bernthal is back in another fan-favorite role in the Marvel Television special presentation “The Punisher: One Last Kill.” Following his hyper-violent exploits in “Daredevil: Born Again,” as well as Netflix’s “Daredevil” and “The Punisher” series, the new installment finds Bernthal’s Frank Castle at his breaking point.

The pop culture version of “Jeopardy!” moves from Prime Video to Netflix for its new season, which debuted earlier this week.

New episodes will drop on weekdays through June 5. Available on Netflix
Stanley Tucci is back for another round of his popular National Geographic travelogue series, with all five new episodes of Season 2 now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
