FULL STORY ======================================================================

Sweet Tooth season 2 has officially been confirmed! Like Stranger Things five years ago, Netflixs adaptation of Jeff Lemires post-apocalyptic Vertigo comic book exploded out of nowhere to become a massive hit for the streaming platform and now Sweet Tooth season 2 is one of the most hotly anticipated
TV series on the planet.

Now we know we're returning to a world still reeling from the Great Crumble the fall of civilization, caused by a global pandemic known simply as the
Sick Sweet Tooth season 2 promises to continue the story of Gus (Christian Convery), a young boy with the antlers and ears of a deer. Hes one of a new breed of human/animal Hybrids that may (or may not) be connected to the fatal virus.

Spoilers follow for season 1 as we discuss what's next for the show.

Release date: Based on the timeframe of other Netflix shows, we wouldn't expect a Sweet Tooth season 2 release date until late 2022 or 2023. The show has only just been renewed, so there's likely a long wait ahead.

Cast: With no major departures or deaths in the season 1 finale, we largely expect the cast to stay the same Christian Convery and Nonso Anozie at its core as Gus and Jepperd.

Story: "Will Jep and Aimee save the Hybrids?" we're asked in the video
above. "Will Gus and his mom reunite?" These, then, are the key story threads we're expecting to see picked up in Sweet Tooth season 2 but scroll down for much more on that.

Netflix has now confirmed Sweet Tooth season 2 is in the works, but we don't know what the release date is yet.

This renewal isn't a massive surprise. Not only did Sweet Tooth shoot
straight to the top of the Netflix charts, but the streamer also confirmed (via Deadline ) that the show has been watched by 60 million member
households since it launched making it Netflixs sixth most-watched English language original series. (It's ahead of Emily in Paris and just behind The Queen's Gambit . Number one in the rankings is Bridgerton , with a whopping
82 million views.)

Wed expect the Sweet Tooth season 2 release date to be some time in late 2022 or early 2023. Netflix traditionally leaves around 18 months between seasons of its shows, so this seems a reasonable prediction.

We wouldnt expect Covid-19 to add additional delays, seeing as the whole of season 1 bar the pilot episode shot in 2019 was filmed during the pandemic.

We expect the Sweet Tooth season 2 cast to look like this, but nothing has officially been confirmed yet: Nonso Anozie as Tommy Jepperd/Big Man
Christian Convery as Gus/Sweet Tooth Adeel Akhtar as Dr Aditya Singh Aliza Vellani as Rani Singh Stefania LaVie Owen as Bear/Rebecca Walker Dania
Ramirez as Aimee Eden Neil Sandilands as General Douglas Abbot (aka the General) Naledi Murray as Wendy Will Forte as Pubba Amy Seimetz as Birdie James Brolin as the Narrator

The season 1 finale did little to suggest therell be major changes in the Sweet Tooth cast second time out. In fact, with no major character departures or deaths, wed be surprised if anyone weve come to know over the shows first eight-episode run failed to return.

So wed expect the key figures in the Sweet Tooth season 2 cast to remain Christian Convery as Gus (the eponymous Sweet Tooth), and Nonso Anozie as his ex-footballer guardian Tommy Jepperd (known as Big Man).

We should also see more from Adeel Akhtar as Aditya Singh, the doctor desperately trying to save his wife, Rani (Aliza Vellani), from the Sick; Stefania LaVie Owen as former Animal Army commander Bear; and Dania Ramirez
as Aimee Eden, protector of Wendy (Naledi Murray) and other Hybrids at the so-called Preserve. And it seems likely that Neil Sandilands will continue to terrorize Hybrids and humans alike, as the General, authoritarian leader of the Last Men.

Wed also be surprised if Will Forte doesnt return to the Sweet Tooth season 2 cast (in flashback) as Guss late Pubba, while the season 1 finale strongly hinted that Amy Seimetz will have a big part to play as Guss mother or, more accurately, creator Birdie.

Sweet Tooth wouldnt be Sweet Tooth without that avuncular voiceover from narrator James Brolin.

And while it's a little bit early to be talking about newcomers to the Sweet Tooth season 2 cast, that hasn't stopped some speculation about who the
show's most famous producer, Robert Downey Jr, could play if he ever decides to step in front of the camera.

I think if our trio in the film became kind of a foursome and he just joined our band along the way and kind of helped us, and maybe helped us along the way in some way... Anozie told ComicBook.com when asked who Downey could
play. I think a character that maybe didn't appear in the comic book, that he could actually come along and play. I actually think he would have made an interesting General Abbot as well, but I feel like Neil Sandilands has done such a great job in that. But if he was to come on, I think he'd have to join our gang, for sure. Sweet Tooth season 2 trailer Sweet Tooth season 2

Seeing as the show just got renewed, its a little premature to be talking about a Sweet Tooth season 2 trailer. But assuming Gus and Big Mans
adventures through the Great Crumble continue, wed expect to see something around a month before the second season debuts. Sweet Tooth season 2 plot Sweet Tooth season 2 plot: what can we expect from the story? The General

While the show is based on Jeff Lemires comic book series, the source
material might not offer that many clues about what to expect from the Sweet Tooth season 2 plot. Lemires story is much darker and more violent than the more family-oriented TV series, which makes some big changes from the page.

The ambition was to create it for a family audience, producer Susan Downey told Variety . We want the whole family to be able to watch together. We talked to Jeff Lemire about how Gus is our true north and how his journey and his relationship to Jep and this interesting cast of characters and
challenges they meet along the way are whats important. Thats when we brought [co-showrunner/director] Jim Mickle on and we talked about creating this storybook or fairytale dystopia this idea that if there was a drastic reduction in population, nature would take over again and it would be green and lush. We all felt confident, and Jeff gave us the blessing that we were keeping what was important to the storytelling and putting it in a more palatable environment.

Beyond the shift in tone You can do different things with comics and with drawings that, if you were to do on screen, it would be beyond shocking, Lemire pointed out to the Express changes range from the minor (Jepperd was an ice hockey player in the comic, rather than a football star) to the fundamental (the characters of Bear and Aimee didnt exist before the TV
show). Other differences in Lemires comic include Jepperd handing Gus over to the Last Men, and the Animal Army being a group of adult fanatics, rather
than the teen freedom fighters seen on TV.

But with the closing episode of season 1 leaving all of its ongoing
storylines unresolved, Sweet Tooth was clearly never created as a one-off. We definitely broke season 1 with the hope of future seasons, co-showrunner Beth Schwartz told RadioTimes.com .

We expect the Sweet Tooth season 2 plot to pick up exactly where its predecessor left off, especially as the story is starting to bring its key players together, with Gus meeting the other Hybrid children, Tommy Jepperd being nursed to health by Aimee Eden, Dr Aditya Singh being forced to work
for the General, and Bear making contact with Guss creator, Birdie, at an Antarctic research station.

It also seems unlikely that Covid-19 will alter any plans about the portrayal of the Sweet Tooths fictional, pinky-twitching pandemic after all, season 1 was filmed when much of the world was living under lockdown. In fact,
Schwartz says real-life has been an inspiration on the show in some ways.

In a way, [the pandemic] helped us she admitted to RadioTimes.com . We didnt have to go too deep into explaining to our audience, This is the pandemic. This is what happened. We could do it with simple nods, like the hand sanitizer, or the 6-feet apart sign that everyone kind of understood. Gus found himself locked in a cage Sweet Tooth's season 1 finale.

(Image credit: Netflix)

There are so many questions the show needs to answer in season 2.

Most importantly, we need to find out why Birdie created human/deer Hybrid
Gus (short for Genetic Unit Series 1), if/how his existence led to the birth of all of the other Hybrids, and if theyre connected to the Sick that has killed millions of people around the world.

With a cure for the disease also likely to be a key storyline, we need to
find out how close Dr Gladys Bell got to finding a cure and how far Dr
Aditya Singh is prepared to go to save his infected wife, Rani. Will he sacrifice Hybrid lives, or will his meeting with Gus change his outlook on
the endeavor even if it means attracting the wrath of the General?

Other questions on the need-to-know list include the reasons for Birdies trip to Alaska (is she working on a cure for the Sick of her own?), why those hallucinogenic purple flowers appear where people are infected, and whether Bear/Rebecca will be reunited with her Hybrid sister, Wendy.

Were also expecting flashbacks to show us more about Guss early days, and to fill in the gaps between the birth of Jepperds Hybrid child and his first encounter with Gus presumably explaining his decisions to join, and subsequently leave, the Last Men.

I spoke to Jim Mickle, the director, about the character arc and where Tommys going to go in relation to some of [the flashbacks], star Nonso Anozie teased in an interview with the Express . Some of it is going to be directly from
the comic and some of it is going to be stuff that suits our audiences and suits the characters of the Sweet Tooth retelling.

And who knows, maybe Big Man will even get to try out the pass the ball game Gus used to play with his Pubba Gus finally made contact with other Hybrids
in Sweet Tooths season 1 finale. (Image credit: Netflix)
