After a two-year hiatus, the wildly popular fantasy drama on Netflix Sweet Tooth has now released its second season. The show, which is based on Jeff Lemire’s comic book of the same name, is set in a dystopian society where after civilization has collapsed, hybrid children made of parts of humans and animals are created.
Nearly 50 million people watched the eight-episode second season in its first four days after its April 27 premiere. An significant announcement about the future of the series has just been made by Netflix. Find out by reading on.
Will Sweet Tooth Return with Season 3?
Fans of Sweet Tooth will be happy to hear that Netflix has picked up the show for a third season. The upcoming season will be the last one, and the programme will come to an end with it, the streaming service revealed on May 3rd. Eight episodes will make up the final season, which will premiere some time in 2024.
Jim Mickle, the showrunner, said he’s always planned to tell the story over three seasons. “In many respects, it’s exactly the tale I had envisioned we would tell, and in many ways, it takes on a life of its own. I believe you intended to tell these significant portions of Gus’ story and the major plot points of the comic book at first,” he remarked.
However, the appeal of Gus’ 24-episode journey is that the characters reveal their own aspirations for themselves. The actors and crew give the characters’ identities, motivations, and points of view so much depth and perspective, Mickle continued.
What will Sweet Tooth Season 3 be About?
“[It’s] another road trip story like Season 1, but in a very different way,” Mickle teased about season 3. Season 3 of this epic saga is set in the Arctic and features thrilling new adventures and, hopefully, a satisfying finish. Gus will experience an aspect of life and humanity that he did not experience in Seasons 1 or 2.
The upcoming season would be darker than the last one, he added. “Gus is developing with the show and beginning to mature as the themes become darker. It’s peak Sweet Tooth intensity, and he has a lot to deal with. Everyone in Season 3 is coping with some sort of emotional loss or wound, whether it be one of a loved one or a piece of oneself.
Who will Star in Sweet Tooth Season 3?
Two new cast members will join the show for the forthcoming season: Cara Gee will play Siana and Ayazhan Dalabayeva will play Nuka. Nonso Anozie as Tommy Jepperd, Christian Convery as Gus, Adeel Akhtar as Dr. Aditya Singh, and Stefania LaVie Owen as Bear will all be reprising their roles in the core cast.
Along with James Brolin, who serves as the narrator, Dania Ramirez as Aimee Eden, Aliza Vellani as Rani Singh, Neil Sandilands as General Abbot, and Marlon Williams as Johnny Abbot round out the cast. Rosalind Chao and Amy Seimetz, who played Mrs. Zhang and Birdie respectively in recurring roles, have been elevated to series regulars.
