The Tick has some new company. Deadline reports Scott Speiser has joined the upcoming Amazon TV series.
Based on Ben Edlund’s long-running comic, The Tick tells the story of an eccentric superhero (Peter Serafinowicz) who fights crime with his sidekick, Arthur (Griffin Newman). The original series ran on FOX for one season in 2001. The new cast includes Jackie Earle Haley, Valorie Curry, and Brendan Hines.
The details for Speiser’s role have not been revealed, and Amazon has not yet announced a premiere date for The Tick.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the original Tick series? Will you watch the Amazon reboot?
So disappointed Patrick Warburton isn’t playing the Tick. Even so, I’m on episode 4 and enjoying it.
I will watch if, and whenever it finally premieres. I loved the comic book, cartoon, and original live action show. I just love The Tick universe, all around.
