Sweet Tooth, Netflix’s fan-favorite post-apocalyptic series, will return for Season 2 in April, the company announced today. Based on Jeff Lemire’s dark comic books, Netflix’s Sweet Tooth is a surprisingly hopeful adaptation that shows how only by sticking together can people survive in extreme conditions.
Sweet Tooth is set in a future where the mysterious Sick has wiped out most of humanity. It follows Gus (Christian Convery), a human/deer hybrid boy who ventures out into the world for the first time after his father’s death. Gus is guarded by Big Man (Nonso Anozie), a traveller who sees his mission as a way to atone for past transgressions. Gus’ journey is filled with joy and wonder because he was raised far away from what remains of civilization, and everything seems new to him. Despite this, some humans believe that sacrificing the hybrid children born after the Sick has spread is the key to finding a cure.
Gus is imprisoned in an abandoned zoo by the Last Men, a paramilitary group led by the nefarious General Abbot, at the end of Season 1. (Neil Sandilands). The synopsis for Season 2 promises that the story will pick up where we last left our heroes, as Gus bonds with other hybrid children and tries to remain optimistic about the future. Gus, meanwhile, will team up with Aimee Eden (Dania Ramirez) to free the hybrids and flee the Last Men.

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.
