Amazon is bringing back the action comedy series The Tick along with Patrick Warburton who played the lead character.

The Tick got one season on FOX in the 2001 and only 9 episodes. It was based on the popular comic book and animated series. The super hero parody featured Warburton as The Tick who in his blue skin-tight costume complete with antennae protects “The City” with his super strength, overly positive attitude and undeserved extreme self confidence. His sidekick Arthur was always by his side. On the live-action series version of The Tick, he faced villains like Apocalypse Cow, Destroyo, The Terror and The Red Scare Robot, which was originally built in the 1970s and programmed to destroy President Jimmy Carter.

According to People, Patrick Warburton is the only cast member from the TV show so far that has signed on to do the new series on Amazon. Ben Edlund who created the comic book “The Tick” will be producing and writing the new series.
