What happens

The Tick is an American television superhero comedy series created for Amazon Prime Video by Ben Edlund, based on his comic book character of the same name. It is the second live-action series based on the character on which Edlund worked, after the cancelled 2001 series that aired on Fox. Its pilot premiered on August 18, 2016. A "half-season", through to the sixth episode, was released on August 25, 2017, and another six episodes were released on February 23, 2018. On January 17, 2018, Amazon ordered a second season of ten episodes, which premiered on April 5, 2019. A month later, Edlund revealed on Twitter that Amazon Video declined to renew the series for a third season. In June 2019, Edlund said that he was unable to find a "new home" for The Tick, ending the series with two seasons. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
