Sweet Tooth season 3 has now been officially confirmed with the new season having filmed in secret in late 2022 and into early 2023. Here’s everything you need to know about the show’s final season coming soon to Netflix.
First debuting on Netflix in 2021, Sweet Tooth is the DC adaptation series of Jeff Lemire’s popular comic series that was bound for Hulu at one point. Season 2 of the show touched down on Netflix globally on April 27th, 2023.
Has Netflix Renewed or Canceled Sweet Tooth?
Official Renewal Status: Renewed (Last updated: 05/03/2023)
Just a few days after the second season debuted on Netflix, the streamer confirmed that season 3 would be on the way and also confirmed that it’d be the final season.
Of course, loyal readers of What’s on Netflix will know that season 3 of Sweet Tooth was coming for quite some time. We’ve been tracking developments on the show and published in February 2023 that the show had received an early renewal citing numerous people tied to the production.
Jim Mickle confirmed that seasons 2 and 3 had been shot back to back in a Tweet following Netflix officially announcing the news, saying, “Been sitting on this news for a loooong time. For those wondering why it took so long to make Season 2… it’s because we made TWO seasons back-to-back”
In a statement released by Netflix, Mickle said:
“In a lot of ways, it’s exactly the story that I imagined we would tell and in a lot of ways it takes on its own life. At the beginning, I think you set out to tell these landmark pieces of Gus’ story and the big pieces of the comic book, but the beauty of long-form storytelling and Gus’ journey over 24 episodes is the characters themselves tell you what they want to be. The crew and cast bring so much depth and point of view to who the characters are and where they’ve come from and where they’re going.”
How well is Sweet Tooth Season 2 Performing on Netflix?
Thanks to Netflix’s top 10s and numerous other third-party stats, we can do a pretty deep dive into stats for Sweet Tooth season 2 in the coming weeks and months.
Let’s first dive into Netflix’s own official hours for the show, which we sadly don’t have an accurate comparison with season 1 to see how much of a rise/drop there was. The only stat released for season 1 was that 60 million households watched within 28 days.
Nevertheless, here’s how the top 10 hours break down thus far:
| Week Period | Hours Viewed(M) | Rank | Week in Top 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| April 23rd, 2023 to April 30th, 2023 | 48,340,000 | 2 | 1 |
In our top 10 report for the first week of Sweet Tooth S2 being included, we found that when using CVE (hours watched divided by the runtime), the show just sat between Sex/Life and Shadow & Bone.
