The Tick is an American television series created for Amazon Prime Video by Ben Edlund, based on his comic book character of the same name. It is the second live-action series based on the character on which Edlund worked, after the cancelled 2001 series that aired on Fox.

Its pilot premiered on August 18, 2016. A "half-season", through to the sixth episode, was released on August 25, 2017, and another six episodes were released on February 23, 2018. On January 17, 2018, Amazon ordered a second season of ten episodes, which premiered on April 5, 2019.[2] A month later, Edlund revealed on Twitter that Amazon Video declined to renew the series for a third season.[3] In June 2019, Edlund said that he was unable to find a "new home" for the Tick, ending the series with two seasons.[4]
