New trailer and character posters for Amazon’s ‘The Tick’
In a world where heroes and villains have existed for decades, accountant Arthur Everest (Griffin Newman – Search Party, Beware the Gonzo) keeps a keen eye peeled for the evil that killed his father. When he runs into a true blue hero, The Tick (Peter Serafinowicz – Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars) turns his life upside down by insisting that Arthur become the brains of a crime-fighting duo. Will Arthur resist the call of Lady Destiny? Or join the fight with her antennaed messenger?
From the original work of Ben Edlund, the Amazon Original Series The Tick will premiere in the UK on Amazon Prime Video on Friday 25th August. The Tick season 1 will be released in two parts of 6 episodes each. Part 1 will be available on Friday 25th August. Part 2 will be released in early 2018. Check out the new trailer and character profiles/posters below:
ARTHUR EVEREST
Arthur lost his father as a child, and courageously tries to keep his fears from getting the best of him. Enter The Tick, who shows Arthur he will never be “normal”—because he’s extraordinary.
THE TICK
This “humble, blue avenger” is a big riddle to everyone who meets him—and sometimes to himself. He’s here to fight for justice, but isn’t always sure how. The Tick sees a hero in Arthur—a sidekick with the brains he needs to make his brawn effective.
DOT EVEREST
Arthur’s sister works as a Paramedic, but her biggest emergency is always taking care of her brother. If Arthur joins The Tick to fight evil, how will she fit into his life?
MISS LINT
A super villain who runs with one of the gangs that controls The City, Miss Lint can zap her victims with a million volts of electricity.
SUPERIAN
He’s the most famous superhero in the world, who made a crater out of The Terror, and restored peace to The City.
RAMSES IV
Ramses runs the Pyramid Gang, which terrorizes The City. He and his gang all have Egyptian-style eye tattoos, since he understands that maintaining his brand is a huge part of his power in The City.
OVERKILL
With hands and eyes made of metal, this “robo-ninja” is an unhinged vigilante who believes that violence is always the answer.
