Patrick Warburton Set to Return in The Tick

Don’t worry citizens, The Tick is back to save the day!

Broad-shouldered Patrick Warburton only sported his blue antennae for one season the first go-around, but the critically acclaimed superhero parody is now being revived on Amazon, a source tells PEOPLE.

The cult-classic series is based on a comic book by Ben Edlund and was first brought to television as an animated series that enjoyed three seasons of success in the mid 1990s. In early 2012, Fox canceled Warburton's live-action version (which also starred a pre-Lost Nestor Carbonell) after just nine episodes.

But no one can stop The Tick from keeping watch over The City.

Warburton – who has also appeared on Seinfeld and Rules of Engagement – recently inked a deal with Amazon and Sony to reprise his role, with Edlund producing and writing, according to the source.

Fans can only hope Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood will once again design Warburton's ab-tastic blue body suit.

Warburton and Tick and Edlund are pure gold, in MY book... I'm all for some of that wackiness again... but don't you mean that the show was cancelled in 2002 and not 2012?...

This was the last show I ever expected to see again
 
Good. The black mailing paid off.

You're welcome America.
 
I'm enjoying this as much as I can while acknowledging that the only source going with it thus far is People Magazine. When Deadline, THR or Variety get in on it, though... then **** gets real.
 
All citing People. Well, TV Line is at least. I don't even bother to look at those other two.
 
If this is true, then I don't even care if the same actor plays Arthur, or if the American Maid analog is back, but Nestor better damn well return as Bat-Manuel. The Dark Knight material to be mined alone makes it worth it.

Yeah, I've caught that as well, but I think others like TVLine wouldn't even report it if they didn't have some inclination that it was true as well. So hopefully it pans out.

Oh god YASSSSS!!! So many Bale jokes to come via Batmanuel

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that date is wrong. :oldrazz:
 
Only took them 12 years. I hope the rest of the cast is fit enough to reprise.

:eek:I was thinking about The Tick the other day. It was the first show whose cancellation pissed me off to no end when I was just Duran Boy. They need to set things right for him by bringing it back.

it looks like justice will finally be served for you, then... SPOON! :woot:
 
The Tick is awesome in all forms of media. Now we just need Pushing Daisies back.
 
The only appropriate reaction to such news:

Is that Rick Flair, Slack Brain?

I always found the Tick to be annoying but the show was great for its parody on many topics. I hope they feature the other oddball heroes.

Edlund confirms stuff is being talked about.
