Sweet Tooth is returning soon for its second season. Netflix announced the premiere date for the upcoming season with the release of first-look photos. The show premiered in June 2021 and was renewed shortly afterward.

Starring Christian Convery, Nonso Anozie, Adeel Akhtar, Will Forte, Stefania LaVie Owen, Dania Ramirez, Aliza Vellani, Neil Sandilands, and James Brolin (as the narrator), Sweet Tooth is based on the comic book by Jeff Lemire. A post-apocalyptic fantasy drama, the story takes place after a global pandemic and the collapse of society. The sickness wiped out most of the human population and this led to the emergence of hybrid babies that are part animal, part human.

Netflix revealed more about the series’ return in a press release.

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.
