While The Tick is undoubtedly the main attraction, the upcoming Amazon Prime Video series will actually follow Arthur Everest, an average accountant that becomes the Tick's sidekick after discovering that a sadistic supervillain has set out to destroy the City.
The Tick creator Ben Edlund is co-producing the project alongside Barry Josephson (Bones) and David Fury (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Cinematographer-turned-director Wally Pfister (Transcendence) helmed each installment in the upcoming first season while Edlund penned the scripts.
The twelve-episode season will be split into two halves, with six episodes each. Part 1 will debut on the streaming platform on Friday, August 25 and Part 2 will arrive in early 2018.
Check out the first trailer below:
