‘Mr. Robot’ Season 2 News: Grace Gummer joins the cast

Maybe: Marvel bringing ‘Punisher’ series to Netflix
Punisher hasn’t even debuted on Daredevil yet, but the sociopathic vigilante is already a favorite on the NetterWebs.

A rumor broke-out over the weekend that they totally were, but Netflix’s Chief Content Czar has responded with a totally maybe okay chill. My interpretation? It’s coming. But down the line.
‘Parks & Rec’ creator returning to NBC with show starring Kristen Bell
