Following prior speculation and reports, Amazon has ordered a pilot for a live-action reboot of "The Tick," according to Deadline. "The Tick" creator Ben Edlund is on board as a writer and executive producer, and two have been cast for the pilot: Griffin Newman as the Tick's sidekick, Arthur, and Valorie Curry as his sister, Dot Everest.
Patrick Warburton, star of the original "Tick" live-action series, is not expected to be involved in the pilot, despite earlier reports that he may return to the role. Casting is said to be currently underway for the title role.
