Hot on the heels of the announcement that the second part of The Tick’s first season will be airing next month, Amazon Studios have confirmed that The Tick will receive a second season, set to air in 2019.
So far there are no details confirmed about the show’s second season, presumably to avoid potential spoilers for the second part of the first season. As with the premiere season, the show will be available to watch exclusively via Amazon Prime Video, for Amazon Prime customers.
Keeping themselves very much in character, Peter Serafinowicz (The Tick) and Griffin Newman (Arthur, The Tick’s sidekick) both commented on the announcement via Twitter, with Newman breathing an “infinite sigh of relief”, and Serafinowicz simply saying “Neat!”.
The second season is set to start filming this year, and will be made up of ten brand new episodes.
“Ben has created a resounding hit while Peter and Griffin have brought Tick and Arthur to indelible life,” said Sharon Yguado, Head of Scripted Series, Amazon Studios. “We can’t wait to bring fans more of the Tick universe soon.”
“I am so excited that Amazon wants to continue this wildly fruitful collaboration and that this amazing cast gets to stay together, and that we get to build this mythos further, wider, deeper, and taller,” commented Ben Edlund, original creator of The Tick, as well as the show’s executive producer. “We got a good ball of mud spinning with the right tilt of axis, I’m very happy we have this opportunity to keep peopling it.”
The Tick also commented on today’s news: “You feel it too, don’t you? Destiny’s warm hand in the small of your back, pushing, pushing. She’s on a roll.”
The Tick will return to Amazon with the second half of season one (comprised of six additional episodes) premiering on February 23rd 2018.
