Out today on Netflix.

Jeff Lemire's graphic novels were outstanding. Based on the trailers & marketing, this series feels more family friendly in theme. Should reach a more mainstream audience. Hope it delivers as per the early reviews and that it won't get cancelled before the whole story ends.

A very good Season 1 with timely relevant themes and characters you can emotionally and dramatically invest in. It does feel different from the books, but doesn't really matter to me. Hope it garners good enough ratings to move forwards with a Season 2.

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.

‘Sweet Tooth’ Renewed for Third and Final Season at Netflix

Netflix is pulling its tooth out.

The streaming giant has handed out a third and final season renewal for Sweet Tooth, the Warner Bros. TV drama based on the DC Comics title. In a twist, production on season three of the series from exec producer Robert Downey Jr. and his Team Downey banner has already been completed in New Zealand.

“In a lot of ways, it’s exactly the story that I imagined we would tell and in a lot of ways it takes on its own life,” showrunner and creator Jim Mickle said in a statement Wednesday. “At the beginning, I think you set out to tell these landmark pieces of Gus’ story and the big pieces of the comic book, but the beauty of long-form storytelling and Gus’ journey over 24 episodes is the characters themselves tell you what they want to be. The crew and cast bring so much depth and point of view to who the characters are and where they’ve come from and where they’re going. Season three is an Arctic story with exciting new adventures and what we hope will be a satisfying conclusion to this epic tale. Gus is going to see a side of the world and humanity that he didn’t see in season one or two.”

The sophomore season of Sweet Tooth bowed April 27 and drew more than 48 million hours of viewership during its first four days on Netflix.

Currently on episode 7 of Season 2. Still good, although Season 1 seems better. I'm just quite happy that the series will see a definite conclusion to the story in Season 3.

Netflix has dropped the first Sweet Tooth Season 3 teaser trailer for the upcoming final installment to the hit coming-of-age fantasy drama, based on Jeff Lemire’s comic book series. It is scheduled to make its return on Thursday, June 6, 2024.

“Having defeated General Abbot in the battle at Pubba’s Cabin, Gus, Jepperd, Becky, and Wendy embark on a journey to Alaska in search of Gus’s mother, Birdie, who has been working to uncover the mysterious origins of the deadly Sick,” reads the synopsis for third and final season. “Along the way, they are joined by Dr. Singh, who may have his own dangerous beliefs about Gus and his role in reversing the virus. Meanwhile, a new threat emerges in the form of Helen Zhang, her daughter Rosie, and the ferocious Wolf Boys, who seek to restart human birth and view Gus as the solution to their plans. As they navigate through perilous terrain, Gus and his group of friends find refuge at the Outpost in Alaska, where they meet a new ensemble of characters including Siana and her hybrid daughter Nuka. With the clock to find answers running out, alliances are tested and destinies intertwine, all leading to a thrilling climax that will determine the fate of humanity and hybrids.”

As a whole, this was a series I pretty much enjoyed. The ending was dramatic, heartwarming and bittersweet. Good message instilled too; about the need for humanity to find balance and unity with the natural world.
