The fantasy show returns with more post-apocalyptic adventures for Gus and the Hybrids.
When Sweet Tooth landed in 2021, it garnered good viewing figures and promptly scored itself a recommission from Netflix. The second season arrives at the streamer on April 27th.
The show, a fantasy based on the DC comic book series by Jeff Lemire, is a charming post-apocalyptic fairy-tale. It tells the story of a hybrid deer-boy and a wandering loner who embark on an extraordinary adventure.
Sweet Tooth Season 2
Promising to tug on our heartstrings again, here’s the synopsis for Season 2:
In Sweet Tooth Season 2, a deadly new wave of the Sick is bearing down on humanity. Gus and a band of other child hybrids are held prisoner by the villainous General Abbot (Neil Sandilands) and the Last Men, a violent group of mercenaries who hunt hybrids. Abbot uses the children as fodder for the experiments of captive Dr. Aditya Singh (Adeel Akhtar); Abbot wants to find a cure and amass power, Dr. Singh simply wants to save his infected wife, Rani (Aliza Vellani).
Gus, always a hero, agrees to help Dr. Singh, thus beginning a dark journey into discovering his own origins. He may also learn more about his mother, Birdie’s (Amy Seimetz) role in the events leading up to the Great Crumble. Elsewhere, Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) and Aimee Eden (Dania Ramirez ) team up to free the hybrids, creating a partnership that will be tested as Jepperd’s secrets come to light.
“That boy may be our only hope.”
