'Sweet Tooth' Rushes To Imminent Final Season With Official Trailer Release
The end is almost deer for the series starring Christian Convery after three seasons
It was just about a month after Netflix released the teaser trailer for the third and final season of Sweet Tooth, based on the Jeff Lemire comic published by the Vertigo imprint of DC that they released the full, official trailer. The June 6 release date comes ever closer.
It seems though that most of the publications that covered the release of the official trailer just amended their teaser trailer articles without much exploration of what they were given. The trailer sees Gus and Big Man hanging out. The previously released official description told how following the defeat of General Abbot, part deer, part boy hybrid Gus (Christian Convery) and his friends Jepperd (Nonso Anozie), Becky (Stefania LaVie Owen), and Wendy (Naledi Murray) will journey to Alaska to find Gus’s mother, Birdie (Amy Seimetz), deep in her work to discover how the deadly Sick originated. The official trailer narration described that the last decade has led many to question whether the hybrids or the sick came first. They are joined by Dr. Singh (Adeel Akhtar) despite his suspicions about Gus and his place in their goals of reversing the virus. He confronts Gus in urgent need to talk about Alaska, and believes that he is the key to the cure as the first hybrid. Big Man knows the pressure being put on Gus to be savior for a world he’s never seen.
On top of that, Helen Zhang, played by Star Trek’s Rosalind Chao, her daughter Rosie, played by Star Wars’s Kelly Marie Tran, and the ferocious Wolf Boys, seek to use Gus for purposes of restarting human birth and repopulation. The highs of success finding refuge at the Outpost in Alaska won’t lead to much settling, as Gus and friends meet even more new faces, including Siana (Cara Gee) and her hybrid daughter Nuka (Ayazhan Dalabayeva). Time is running out, testing alliances as destinies intertwine, and the fate of humanity and hybrids will be revealed in the ultimate climax. And Gus will be leading the way.
Series developer and executive producer Mickle previously said about the third season “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’s story and the big pieces of the comic book, but the beauty of long-form storytelling and Gus’s 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.”
From Warner Bros. Television, Sweet Tooth began with Gus, whose nickname is the source of the title, leaving his home in the forest to find the outside world devastated by an apocalyptic event. Along the way, he builds a found family of humans and animal-children hybrids similar to him looking for answers about the new world and that mystery behind his hybrid origins.
The series is executive produced by Mickle, Robert Downey, Jr., Susan Downey, Amanda Burrell, and Linda Moran. It comes rather soon after the Dead Boy Detectives series premiered on Netflix in late April, My Adventures with Superman returned for its second season on Toonami, and Superman & Lois’s final season on The CW and the premiere of Creature Commandos on Max happen in the fall. It is quite the transition time for DC Comics television adaptations.
