One and a half years after the release of the debut season of Sweet Tooth, Netflix has finally confirmed the premiere date for season 2. The fantasy drama is based on the comic book of the same name by Jeff Lemire.
Sweet Tooth follows a pandemic-hit world where most of the human population has vanished, and a mysterious part-human and part-animal hybrid species has emerged. Apart from confirming the release date, the streaming platform has also unveiled first-look images for the new season.
Netflix Confirms Sweet Tooth Season 2 Premiere Date
The streaming giant has announced that Sweet Tooth season 2 will premiere on Thursday, April 27, 2023. Much like the first season, the second installment will also have eight episodes, which will all be released together. A few first-look images have also been revealed, which showcase the cast on a new adventure.
Sweet Tooth was a huge hit when it dropped on Netflix in June 2021. It remained in the top 10 shows list on the streaming platform for 30 days in the US and the UK. Within the first four weeks of its release, it had been watched in 60 million households. Following the massive success, the second season was ordered in July 2021.
Sweet Tooth Season 2 Storyline
Netflix has also launched a logline for the upcoming season: “As a deadly new wave of the Sick bears down, Gus and a band of fellow hybrids are held prisoner by General Abbot 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, who’s racing to save his infected wife Rani.”
“To protect his friends, Gus agrees to help Dr. Singh, beginning a dark journey into his origins and his mother Birdie’s role in the events leading up to The Great Crumble. Outside the Preserve, Tommy Jepperd and Aimee Eden 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,” it reads further.
