Spoon! Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television have found a leading man for their upcoming new The Tick series. Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Peter Serafinowicz will play Ben Edlund’s great big blue bug of justice. Patrick Warburton, who headlined the previous live-action take on The Tick, is meanwhile attached as an executive producer for the new show. Also returning from the previous series are executive producers Ben Edlund and Barry Josephson. Edlund, who created The Tick, is also writing the new series.
Peter Serafinowicz joins a The Tick cast that already is set to feature Vinyl star Griffin Newman as accountant-turned-moth-themed-superhero Arthur Everest, while House of Lies‘ Valorie Curry will play Arthur’s sister, Dot.
