"The Tick" was canceled after two seasons at Amazon.

The creator of the series, Ben Edlund, announced the news on Twitter. "I'm sorry to say that Amazon has chosen not to pursue [‘The Tick’], Wrote Edlund.

The series also stars Valorie Curry, Brendan Hines, Scott Speiser and Yara Martinez, and presents the voice of Alan Tudyk as Dangerboat. Jackie Earle Haley appeared in the first season as supervillain The Terror.
