With fans of ‘Stranger Things' and ‘The Umbrella Academy' having to wait until after the summer for new episodes of their favourite shows, Netflix appears to have found a winner with ‘Sweet Tooth,' produced by Robert Downey Jr. ‘Sweet Tooth,' in a similar vein to ‘Stranger Things,' pulls out the best in a collection of talented young performers who bring Jeff Lemire's DC/Vertigo comic to life. With the first season's success, talk is now shifting to a second season of ‘Sweet Tooth.'
Despite being set in the United States, the first season of Sweet Tooth was shot in New Zealand, and was one of the few projects permitted to do so during the country's lockdown in 2020. For the sake of consistency, the program will most likely return to New Zealand for season 2.

What is There in Sweet tooth?
In “The Great Crumble,” civilization crumbled ten years ago owing to a viral epidemic of the Sick, which wiped off the majority of the world's human population and resulted in the inexplicable emergence of hybrid kids — part human, part animal.
Many humans dread and hunt hybrids because they are unsure if the virus is the source or the outcome of the virus. Gus, a half-deer hybrid, lives with his father in the bush until he dies when he is nine years old. Gus finds a box buried behind a tree by his father, which has what he assumes is an image of his mother with the word “Colorado” scribbled on it.
Gus lights a fire a year after his father's death before leaving his and his father's house in the bush to find his mother. The fire notifies surrounding hunters, who attempt to assassinate Gus for sport.
The hunters, on the other hand, are noticeably surprised when Gus speaks. Tommy Jepperd, “Big Man,” a lone traveller, kills the hunters and then attempts to leave Gus behind, but Gus pursues him. Gus insists on being escorted to Colorado by Jepperd in order to find his mother. Jepperd fights back, but he finds himself sheltering Gus, who won't go away.
The plot also follows Dr. Aditya Singh and his wife as they struggle to find a treatment for the Sick, as well as Aimee, a former therapist who is trying to defend her hybrid refuge, known as “The Preserve.”
Will There Be Sweet Tooth Season 2?
It has been renewed! Netflix verified the revelation with a marketing ploy, sending out special parcels announcing Sweet Tooth Season 2 and urging consumers to wait until July 29 to open them. This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. The program was an instant smash, immediately ascending the ranks of Netflix's most-watched episodes and movies. It gets a 98 percent approval rating from critics and an 88 percent approval rating from the general public on Rotten Tomatoes.
It's difficult to say. The Netflix program differed significantly from Jeff Lemire's original comic. There is, nevertheless, some obvious overlap. Gus and many other hybrids were confined at a complex where they would be experimented on in an attempt to discover a cure for “the sick” towards the end of Season 1. Meanwhile, Jepperd and Aimee are collaborating to save the children.
That's very much what occurs in the comics after that, with Jepperd creating a team to free the hybrids. So, while the specifics may alter, you can probably expect a jailbreak-style scenario to begin off Season 2 of Sweet Tooth – provided the show is renewed at all.
There's no information on whether or not the second season of Sweet Tooth has started filming, or when it will if it hasn't already. However, given the production's vast size and the fact that post-production to incorporate and finalise CGI and other special effects is expected to take a long time, shooting should commence in the coming months if it hasn't already in order to keep season 2 on schedule.
Who All Can Be Expected in Sweet Tooth Season 2?
There haven't been any formal cast announcements for the second season yet, although the lineup isn't likely to alter significantly. Christian Convery, for example, is almost certain to return as Gus/Sweet Tooth, while Dania Ramirez, Nonso Anozie, and Will Forte, as Aimee Eden, Tommy Jepperd/Big Man, and Pubba, will almost certainly return.
Adeel Akhtar as Dr. Aditya Singh, Stefania LaVie Owen as Bear/Rebecca Walker, Neil Sandilands as General Douglas Abbot, and, of course, James Brolin as the Narrator are all expected to return. Keep a watch out for new cast members, but rest assured that, given the lack of major fatalities or losses in the first season, pretty much everyone will be (or should be) on board for season 2.
Wrapping Up
If the program is revived, it may be some time before we see new episodes. At the earliest, the series may resume in mid-2022, nearly a year from now. If Netflix is able to ramp up production quickly enough, Friday, June 3, 2022 might be the date.
