Sweet Tooth premiered in summer 2021 just as the pandemic was starting to ease up. Still, many people weren’t going to the movies yet, and that may have helped the show become a massive hit. Netflix quickly renewed it for a second season. Now, nearly two years later, the show is finally returning with new episodes. A trailer should be dropping soon now that we have a release date, so be on the lookout for that.
Here is the synopsis for Sweet Tooth season 2.
“As a deadly new wave of the Sick bears down, Gus (Christian Convery) and a band of fellow hybrids are held prisoner by General Abbot (Neil Sandilands) and the Last Men. Looking to consolidate power by finding a cure, Abbot uses the children as fodder for the experiments of captive Dr. Aditya Singh (Adeel Akhtar), who’s racing to save his infected wife Rani (Aliza Vellani). To protect his friends, Gus agrees to help Dr. Singh, beginning a dark journey into his origins and his mother Birdie’s (Amy Seimetz) role in the events leading up to The Great Crumble. Outside the Preserve, Tommy Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) and Aimee Eden (Dania Ramirez ) team up to break the hybrids free, a partnership that will be tested as Jepperd’s secrets come to light. As the revelations of the past threaten the possibility of redemption in the present, Gus and his found family find themselves on a collision course with Abbot and the evil forces that look to wipe them out once and for all.”
The series is based on the comic book of the same name by Jeff Lemire. The cast is led by Christian Convery as Gus. The ensemble also includes Nonso Anozie as Jepperd, Adeel Akhtar as Dr. Singh, Stefania LaVie Owen as Bear, Dania Ramirez as Aimee Eden, Aliza Vellani as Rani Singh, Naledi Murray as Wendy, Neil Sandilands as General Abbot, Marlon Williams as Johnny Abbot, Christopher Sean Cooper Jr. as Teddy Turtle, Yonas Kibreab as Finn Fox and James Brolin as the voice of the narrator.
Jim Mickle serves as the show’s writer, director and executive producer. Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, Amanda Burrell and Linda Moran also serve as executive producers, with Evan Moore on board as a co-executive producer.
Sweet Tooth season 2 arrives on Netflix on April 27.
