Sweet Tooth season 2 release date, cast, synopsis, trailer, and more

Sweet Tooth was one of the top shows on Netflix in 2021, and thankfully, we have some news about Sweet Tooth season 2 to share with fans who have been waiting for the new season.

Fans absolutely loved the first season of the Netflix original series. It’s incredible to see a Netflix show like this, a post-apocalyptic comic series with limited promotion, do so well for the streaming network.

We’re in the final stretch now in the countdown until the season hits Netflix, so we shared everything we know about the series as of Monday, April 17, 2023.

Sweet Tooth season 2 is happening

On July 29, 2021, we got word that Sweet Tooth season 2 was in the works! As reported by Collider, the unique series was renewed by Netflix for another installment. What great news for fans of Sweet Tooth.

Based on the response to the series and how many people have been watching it since its debut, it was a no-brainer for Netflix to renew Sweet Tooth for season 2. The decision ultimately came down to a few things: if there was more to the story, if the creative team wanted to tell the story, and if enough people were watching. It looks like Sweet Tooth checks the boxes.

Sweet Tooth season 2 filming ended in 2022

According to a report from What’s on Netflix, Sweet Tooth season 2 was scheduled to begin filming in early 2022 and end in June 2022. We can’t say exactly when production ended, but it definitely wrapped in 2022. Netflix shared a video in June 2022 that revealed that production had wrapped at Netflix Geeked Week 2022.

Sweet Tooth season 2 release date

Our release prediction for season 2 was April 2023 and it looks like we were right! On March 14, Netflix announced that the second season would be coming to Netflix on Thursday, April 27, 2023. That’s just 10 days from now! You can expect the entire season to drop at 12:00 a.m. PT/3:00 a.m. ET on this date.

There was a lot of hope that Sweet Tooth season 2 would be released on Netflix in late 2022, but that didn’t happen. Netflix had a busy lineup at the end of 2022, and it was probably better off that Sweet Tooth season 2 was not released around that time of the year.

Netflix also rolled out a stacked lineup at the beginning of 2023 with Ginny and Georgia, You, and Outer Banks, followed by Shadow and Bone in March. It makes sense the streamer was waiting for the perfect opportunity to release Sweet Tooth season 2.

Cooper will play Teddy Turtle and Kibreab will portray Finn Fox.

Sweet Tooth season 2 plot synopsis

Deadline provided us with the second season’s plot below:

"In Season 2, as a deadly new wave of the Sick bears down, Gus (Convery) and a band of fellow hybrids are held prisoner by General Abbot (Sandilands) 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 (Akhtar), who’s racing to save his infected wife Rani (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 (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."
