It might be too soon for "Jessica Jones" Season 2 to begin production. After all, there are a few other Marvel shows that will air before the second season of Krysten Ritter's series starts filming. It is possible that Jon Bernthal is currently working on "Iron Fist", which is still being shot. This could mean that The Punisher might pop up in more than just one other Netflix show other than his own solo series.
Will Jon Bernthal's The Punisher Appear In 'Iron Fist', 'The Defenders' AND 'Jessica Jones' Season 2?
There is little doubt that Netflix is enjoying the interest in The Punisher after Jon Bernthal's impressive debut in "Daredevil" Season 2.

Some believe that Bernthal will be a guest star in "Iron Fist", "The Defenders" and "Jessica Jones" Season 2 before he goes on his solo series.
The official "Jessica Jones" Season 2 air date has not yet been announced. However, the series is expected to return on Netflix by 2018.
