Peter Serafinowicz to play The Tick in Amazon’s live-action pilot

March 24, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Earlier this month it was announced that Amazon has given a pilot order to a live-action revival of The Tick, although due to scheduling conflicts, Patrick Warburton would not be returning as the eponymous superhero.

Well, Deadline is reporting that British actor Peter Serafinowicz (Shaun of the Dead, Guardians of the Galaxy) has been cast in the lead role for the pilot, which is once again being written and executive produced by comic book creator Ben Edlund.

The new pilot will see The Tick “recovering from a memory loss and reteaming with his sidekick Arthur (Griffin Newman) to fight evil. The two are surrounded by a new host of characters that include Arthur’s sister Dot (Valorie Curry).”
