Amazon has ordered a pilot for a new live action series based on comic character The Tick, according to Deadline.  There was talk of a new series back in 2014 with Patrick Warburton, who played the lead in the short-lived 2001 series, attached (see "Patrick Warburton in 'The Tick'"), but Warburton will not appear in this new version.  But the DNA of the series is the same, as comic and TV series creator Ben Edlund will write and executive produce along with fellow original exec producer Barry Josephson and Warburton (at least for the pilot).

Cinematographer Wally Pfister (Moneyball, the Dark Knight trilogy) is in negotiations to direct.

Griffin Newman (Vinyl) has been cast as Arthur Everest, and Valorie Curry (Veronica Mars) will play Dot Everest.  A lead has not yet been cast.

Only nine episodes were produced of the first go-round at a live action adaptation starring Warburton back in the early 2000s.  It debuted to good reviews (see "'The Tick' Debuts to Critical Acclaim"), but was canceled after being put in a horrendous time slot against tough completion by Fox (see "Fox Dislodges 'The Tick'").

Three seasons of an animated series based on The Tick were produced in the 90s.
