Netflix’s Sweet Tooth returns for a third and final season this summer. The series, based on the DC comics by Jeff Lemire, debuted a trailer today to showcase what’s in store. Check it out below.
Here’s the official synopsis of Sweet Tooth season 3 from Netflix:
Having defeated General Abbot in the battle at Pubba’s Cabin, Gus (Christian Convery), Jepperd (Nonso Anozie), Becky (Stefania LaVie Owen), and Wendy (Naledi Murray) embark on a journey to Alaska in search of Gus’s mother, Birdie (Amy Seimetz), who has been working to uncover the mysterious origins of the deadly Sick. Along the way, they are joined by Dr. Singh (Adeel Akhtar), 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 (Rosalind Chao), her daughter Rosie (Kelly Marie Tran), 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 (Cara Gee) and her hybrid daughter Nuka (Ayazhan Dalabayeva). 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.
Sweet Tooth comes from Warner Bros. Television and executive producers Susan Downey and Robert Downey Jr. Jim Mickle serves as showrunner and executive producer.
“[It’s] another road trip story like Season 1, but in a very different way,” Mickle told Tudum. “Season 3 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 1 or 2.”
Convery added that the upcoming season also marks a tonal shift for the series as well.
“Season 3 is darker than Season 2,” Convery said. “Gus is growing alongside the series, starting to mature as the themes get darker. There’s a lot he has to deal with, and it’s peak Sweet Tooth intensity.”
Season 3 of Sweet Tooth features eight 50 minute episodes. It premieres on Netflix June 6.
