Fox has committed to a pilot for The Punisher, a series based on the Marvel comic from Edward Allen Bernero and ABC.

The comic adaptation is described as an hour-long cop procedural with a Marvel signature and a new take on one of the comic book giant's iconic characters, Frank Castle, a rising star detective with the New York Police Department who moonlights as the vigilante Punisher, seeking justice for those the system has failed.

This marks the first sale this season for ABC, with the company setting up Hulk with Guillermo del Toro, David Eick and Jessica Jones with Melissa Rosenberg last season.

No cast or production details have been released.
