Netflix has officially renewed Jim Mickle’s hit fantasy series adaptation of Sweet Tooth for a third and final season. The renewal comes after a week since the coming-of-age drama made its return with eight new episodes. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Season 2 has garnered over 48 million hours of viewership during its first four days.
In a statement by Mickle, he confirmed that the final chapter will see Christian Convery’s Gus embarking on an arctic adventure. It has also been revealed that Netflix has already completed filming Season 3 in New Zealand.
“In a lot of ways, it’s exactly the story that I imagined we would tell and in a lot of ways it takes on its own life,” Mickle said. “At the beginning, I think you set out to tell these landmark pieces of Gus’ story and the big pieces of the comic book, but the beauty of long-form storytelling and Gus’ journey over 24 episodes is the characters themselves tell you what they want to be. The crew and cast bring so much depth and point of view to who the characters are and where they’ve come from and where they’re going. Season three is an Arctic story with exciting new adventures and what we hope will be a satisfying conclusion to this epic tale. Gus is going to see a side of the world and humanity that he didn’t see in season one or two.”
What is Sweet Tooth About?
Described as a family-friendly storybook adventure, Sweet Tooth centers around Gus — part deer, part boy — who leaves his home in the forest to find the outside world ravaged by a cataclysmic event. He joins a ragtag family of humans and animal-children hybrids like himself, searching for answers about this new world and the mystery behind his hybrid origins.
The series currently stars Christian Convery, Nonso Anozie, Adeel Akhtar, Rosalind Chao and Amy Seimetz, along with James Brolin as the voice of the narrator. Season 3 will also introduced new cast members Cara Gee and Ayazhan Dalabayeva.
Sweet Tooth is created and directed by Jim Mickle from a screenplay he co-wrote with Beth Schwartz (Arrow), who are both serving as showrunners. Executive producers are Mickle, Schwartz, Team Downey’s Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, and Amanda Burrell, and Linda Moran, with Team Downey’s Evan Moore set as a producer.
