The pilot is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television, and the official synopsis from Amazon reads, "In a world where superheroes have been real for decades, an underdog accountant with zero powers comes to realize his city is owned by a global super villain long-thought dead. As he struggles to uncover this conspiracy, he falls in league with a strange blue superhero."

The Tick was originally a comic book in the late '80s before getting its own animated series in 1994. It later received its first live-action show with Family Guy's Patrick Warburton as the Tick.

On top of The Tick, Amazon is debuting two additional pilots. I Love Dick starring Kevin Bacon and Jean-Claude Van Johnson starring... surprise, Jean-Claude Van Damme both premiere on August 19.
