A superhero comedy based on Edlund’s long-running comic, The Tick stars Peter Serafinowicz, Griffin Newman, Valorie Curry, Brendan Hines, Yara Martinez, Scott Speiser, and Jackie Earle Haley. The story unfolds in place in a world where superheroes have been real for many many years and follows a nervous accountant, Arthur Everest (Newman), and a strange (sometimes clueless) blue superhero named The Tick (Serafinowicz). Together, they begin an adventure that’s filled with crazy super villains, dangerous vigilantes, and freakish superheroes.
The pilot of The Tick was released in August 2016 and the 11 additional episodes of the first season were released in two batches, in August 2017 and February 2018. The 10 episodes of season two were unveiled on April 5th of this year.
Edlund revealed that The Tick had been cancelled by Amazon via a Twitter post:
I'm sorry to say Amazon has chosen not to proceed with @TheTickTV I'm not sorry to say I love this show, its cast, its story, and its message. Destiny demands that my compatriots and I now seek a new home for this series.

What do you think? Do you like The Tick TV show? Would you realistically watch season three on another platform?
Keep this show going!!! This is the best portrayal of The Tick.
love this superhero series, it is hilarious as it perfectly blends stupid actions with witty, dry dialog. The characters are perfectly casted as well. Can’t wait for a season 3!!
We definitely need another few seasons of the tick! The developments of the characters was just starting! I hope netflix picks it up soon!
I would definitely love to see season 3 of the Tick wherever I could!
Amazon needs to bring the Tick back!!!!!!
I love The Tick! Hopefully Netflix will pick it up, since they can afford the cool special effects.
ABSOLUTELY!!! I LOVE SHOW! PLEASE FIND A NEW HOME FOR IT!!!!!
This is an excellent show. It deserves to have more than 2 seasons. If Amazon wants it to be moved to another place, then so be it, as long as it doesn’t stop more seasons from being made.
Yes I’d watch it on any platform just please bring it back.. I absolutely love the show and the charcters.. Great work and Amazon’s loss there’s so many other shows that should be cancelled but not this one only after two season’s that’s just messed up.. I will tell eveyone I know to watch this series and to support it.. It is better than the original in my book.. Good Luck On Bringing It Back!
The Tick for Presdent. Love love LOVE this series.
I want more of the terrific television known as “the tick”.
I would watch it as a child watches their father, as a dolphin watches the waves.
Hope another network picks it up.
Yes I would definitely watch this show, loved all the characters and their portrayal of characters.
Absolutely loved everything about this show. Please bring it back!!
