Netflix’s Sweet Tooth was released last month, and the slice of life sci-fi fantasy series ended on a cliffhanger with a few open ends. As someone who loved the show, the very first thing I wanted to know was will Sweet Tooth have a season 2?
Sweet Tooth’s first season had a somewhat predictable narrative, but that didn’t take away from my experience while watching it. The character work was pretty strong, and these well-written characters drove the series’ plot.
Moreover, the chemistry between the actors is yet another strong point of the series that really made me invest in them on an emotional level. After all, it is characters and films such as these that you will remember long after they’re released. It is also a reason why people (including me) want the show to go on. So will there be a second season?
Netflix hasn’t officially confirmed a second season. However, considering the show was on top of the trending chart and an instant hit amongst audience and critics alike, we might see a sequel by late 2022.
Sweet Tooth leaves us with several questions about the various primary characters, and there are quite a few to look out for. Pretty much why fans and even some of the actors have kept their fingers crossed, hoping there is a sequel.
Here’s a list of characters and the questions we have about their story arcs.
1. Doctor Aditya Singh
We see the doctor fight for his wife throughout the season since she has caught the Sick but has managed to stay alive for the last few years. He has also found that the Sick isn’t contagious, considering he hasn’t gotten it until now.
He replaces the current doctor, who hands him a file detailing all her findings and observations about developing the cure. According to that, he has to extract the necessary gene from a living hybrid and use it in the formula of the cure.
This is against his morals, and towards the end, they are put to test when the General of the Last Men asks him to start the extraction process from the hybrids.
Though he lets Gus, aka Sweet Tooth, go, we see him move towards another hybrid, indicating that he is going ahead with the procedure to save his wife and also to protect her from the General’s wrath.
Would he go through with it, or will his morals stop him? Hopefully, season 2 answers that.
2. Big Man And Aimee
In the season finale, while Big Man lost Gus, Aimee lost Wendy and the other hybrids. Big Man, aka Tommy Jepperd, is shot but is rescued by Aimee, thanks to Gus calling Aimee’s zoo of hybrids.
Aimee brings Big Man back to her original office and tends to his wounds while he is unconscious. When he does wake up, she says that they’re getting their kids back tomorrow, and he should get some rest. *That was quite badass, and if you’ve watched the show, you better agree!*
If there’s a season 2, we will see how they go about rescuing their kids. Will it be a lot of strategizing and planning, or would they go with ambush the zoo, her home!
3. Bear And Birdie
Bear is an interesting character which despite having lesser screen time, left a mark on me. She lost her friends and family but now had also found new ones – Gus and Big Man!
However, she is still at Birdie’s place, aloof of the fact that Gus has been captured and Big Man has been shot. While in the house, she finds a satellite phone that she uses to call another number, hoping it would reach Birdie or someone who knows Birdie.
Birdie’s friends told Gus, Big Man, and Bear that she had left in search of Gus but never returned.
After multiple attempts by Bear, we see Birdie on the other end enter a tent from the outside and pick up the phone. It means that Birdie is still alive, and we also see that she is in Alaska, where the original research for G.U.S had taken place before the Sick!
By this point, I’m so excited because I want to know what she has been doing in Alaska, how long she was there, and what events would unfold when she talks with Bear. *Netflix! Announce season 2 already!*
4. Sweet Tooth And The Hybrids
Finally, coming to the fan-favorite Sweet Tooth. Well, he gets to live another day, and just when he reaches the cage or dungeon, he finds other hybrids there, and they all end up hugging in a large group.
Perhaps in the saddest of times, Sweet Tooth has finally found his family. A family that he’ll be needing now more than ever because he’s got to escape this place. Will he be able to or not is something we will only know in Season 2.
All these stories will remain incomplete if there’s no season 2, and that’s just a sad ending, right? So here’s hoping that we are all as lucky as Sweet Tooth and Netflix doesn’t kill this show-off. Until then, I’m rewatching the entire season again, and maybe you can too!
