Sweet Tooth has slowly become a successful show in the fantasy genre. The DC comic television series has impressed viewers with its gorgeous visuals and otherworldly storyline. The Netflix show has been loved by audiences since its first season drooped. Recently, the third season also wrapped.
Since then viewers have been excited to know whether Sweet Tooth Season 4 is happening or not. There are many reports but no clarity on whether it has been canceled or commissioned. We will be answering this question so continue to read if you are a fan of the show and want to know.
What Is Sweet Tooth All About?
Jim Mickle has developed Sweet Tooth who is also the showrunner with Beth Schwartz. It is based on the eponymous comic book series which was from DC Comics and was created by Jeff Lemire. In the series, we see a large part of the human population has been killed by a virus.
There are many babies who are born with characteristics of animals. Gus (played by Christian Convery) is a 10-year-old boy with half-human and half-deer characteristics. He is looking for his mother after the demise of his father.
Mickle is the executive producer along with Robert Downey Jr., Beth Schwartz, Susan Downey, Amanda Burrell, and Linda Moran. The first season was released on June 4th, 2021. Sweet Tooth Season 3 premiered on June 6th, 2024.
How Did Sweet Tooth Season 3 End?
In the final episode of Sweet Tooth, called This Is a Story, Gus finds Birdie who had created him in the lab of Fort Worth. She is technically her mother. Later, she has a scuffle with Gus and Jepperd with a knife. Birdie eventually dies.
The episode also reveals that the sicks had preceded the hybrids. Towards the end, Jepperd has also passed away and is buried somewhere in Alaska.
Is Sweet Tooth Season 4 Happening?
Netflix has not announced that Sweet Tooth Season 4. However, we might have to wait since the third season has recently concluded, and Netflix might consider every possibility and analyze the viewership before giving the go-ahead. There are slim chances that it will happen since the third season was conclusive in itself.
The third season showcased Gus finally finding out who his mother is and it is Birdie. Since he wasn’t born, Birdie had created him in a lab by mixing human and animal DNAs. This technically made her his mother. Later in the finale, she dies which shocks him.
This puts an end to the storyline. Sweet Tooth Season 4 might have to go into a different storyline to explore since this one is complete. We can show him as a grownup and trying to start a family while facing different kinds of challenges.
Who Will Be In The Cast?
In terms of cast, Sweet Tooth Season 4 might have almost the same cast as the previous season. This includes Christian Convery (Gus), Nonso Anozie (Tommy Jepperd), Adeel Akhtar (Aditya Singh) and Stefania LaVie Owen (Bear).
If a time jump happens, we can expect Gus to be played as an adult actor. We might also see more new actors joining the cast if the setting takes place somewhere else.
There is no news from Netflix regarding the release date of Sweet Tooth Season 4. But we can speculate it to drop in the summer of 2025. But this will only happen if the makers start working on it quickly after greenlighting it.
Conclusion
Netflix’s Sweet Tooth has slowly become a massive success due to its comic book quality and visuals that audiences have never seen before. The characters are eccentric and look wise and that fascinates everyone. The plot is also very engaging and viewers are hooked throughout the three seasons.
Sweet Tooth manages to engage viewers with the dramatic plots and characters and engages with its heavy themes and messages. Fans are demanding Sweet Tooth Season 4 and we can only hope that Netflix listens to them and commissions it very soon. While the story has reached its conclusion, there is always a way to start over and begin with a new setting.
