Sweet Tooth Season 2: 5 Quick Things We Know About The Netflix Series
There were many original Netflix TV shows in 2021 that premiered to wide, wonderful acclaim from critics and audiences alike, such as Mike Flanagan’s horrifying miniseries Midnight Mass or the third season of You, for instance. However, Sweet Tooth managed to really stand out among the rest for its unique, heartwarming, and equally heartbreaking take on the post-apocalyptic fantasy genre.
Based on the popular DC Comics series of the same name by writer and artist Jeff Lemire, the comparatively lighter adaptation takes place in a world ravaged by a deadly virus in which a young boy with human/deer genetics and his protective adult companion search for a safe haven for others like him while struggling to evade human survivors who hate his kind. Considering how the story left off in the season finale, it should have been a relief to fans that Sweet Tooth Season 2 is in the works. The following are all the most essential facts that we know about part two of this endearing adventure, starting with how many chapters audiences have to look forward to this time.
Sweet Tooth Season 2 Will Consist Of Eight, One-Hour Episodes
The debut season of Sweet Tooth premiered on Netflix on Friday, June 4, 2021 and, within its first four weeks on the streaming platform, 60 million households “tuned in” to watch Gus (Christian Convery) on his journey with Tommy “Big Man” Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) over the course of eight thrilling episodes. The following month, the streaming platform confirmed that Sweet Tooth Season 2 was greenlit by sending each of the main cast members a large, specially made chocolate bar in reference to Gus’ eponymous affinity for candy. A video posted to the series’ official Twitter account captured their glowing reactions.
According to a press release put out by Netflix in tandem with the renewal announcement, Sweet Tooth Season 2, like its first season run, will last a total of eight episodes - each of which will be one hour long.
Sweet Tooth Season 2 Plans To Film In New Zealand In 2022
The sweeping, idyllic country of New Zealand has served as the filming location for many fantasy stories on the big and small screen, such as Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings movies (Hobbit prequel trilogy included) and Netflix’s live-action reboot of the hit anime, Cowboy Bebop, which also premiered in 2021. The digital platform also set up production for the first season of Sweet Tooth in the South Pacific nation, which will continue to represent the series’ post-apocalyptic world when the cameras start rolling again.
Principal photography on Sweet Tooth Season 2 is expected to begin in early 2022 and will, once again, take place in New Zealand. This was first confirmed in July 2021 by the country’s own TVNZ during their interview with showrunner Jim Mickle, who will also be wearing a lot of hats for the series’ sophomore run.
