Sweet Tooth to return to Netflix for a second season as Netflix renews the DC comics show. This news comes just about two months after the first season debuted on the streaming service on June 4.
Based on the DC comic book series by Jeff Lemire, the series takes place ten years after “The Great Crumble” wreaked havoc on the world and led to the mysterious emergence of hybrid babies born part human, part animal.
The series follows Gus, a young boy who’s part deer, as he journeys across what’s left of America with a wandering loner named Jepperd.
The second season will consist of eight one-hour-long episodes, similar to the first season.
Showrunner Jim Mickle said in a statement,
It’s been equally thrilling and heart-warming to experience how people around the world have been falling in love with our deer-boy. We couldn’t be more excited to continue our collaboration with Netflix and keep following Gus and his friends on their extraordinary journey.

Netflix announced the renewal of Sweet Tooth for season 2 via Twitter in a video featuring several cast members.
@netflix: Sweet Tooth is officially coming back for Season 2!!
Sweet Tooth was watched by 60M member households since its June 4 launch, putting it in at number six in its list of most-watched English-language original series (via Deadline).
Team Downey and Warner Bros. TV produce Sweet Tooth. Mickle also serves as writer and executive producer. Susan Downey, Robert Downey Jr., and Amanda Burrell also executive produce along with Linda Moran. Evan Moore serves as producer.
Beth Schwartz was the co-showrunner and executive producer on Season 1 but will exit prior to the second season, as planned only through its first season. Oanh Ly will join Season 2 as co-exec producer.
We don’t have the release date for Sweet Tooth season 2 yet. However, production on the first season took place in New Zealand amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. So with an official announcement, Season 2 might pick up speed, and a roughly estimated date can be around mid-2022.
