Answers in the Snow

Based on the DC comic book series by Jeff Lemire, Sweet Tooth is a dystopian fairy tale that follows the harrowing adventures of Gus — part deer, part boy — who, after the death of his father, leaves his home in the forest to find the outside world that’s been ruined by a cataclysmic event. He joins a ragtag family of humans and animal-children hybrids like himself in search of answers about this new world and the mystery behind his hybrid origins.

Season 3, which is being billed as the “Final Chapter” will presumably wrap up Sweet Tooth’s story and, perhaps, give us answers to questions we’ve been wondering about since season 1. Deadline had this description of what we might expect in the new season.

In Season 3, having defeated General Abbot in the battle at Pubba’s Cabin, Gus (Christian Convery), Jepperd (Nonso Anozie), Becky (Stefania LaVie Owen), and Wendy (Naledi Murray) embark on a journey to Alaska in search of Gus’s mother, Birdie (Amy Seimetz), who has been working to uncover the mysterious origins of the deadly Sick. Along the way, they are joined by Dr. Singh (Adeel Akhtar), who may have his own dangerous beliefs about Gus and his role in reversing the virus. Meanwhile, a new threat emerges in the form of Helen Zhang (Rosalind Chao), her daughter Rosie (Tran), and the ferocious Wolf Boys, who seek to restart human birth and view Gus as the solution to their plans. As they navigate through perilous terrain, Gus and his group of friends find refuge at the Outpost in Alaska, where they meet a new ensemble of characters including Siana (Cara Gee) and her hybrid daughter Nuka (Ayazhan Dalabayeva). With the clock to find answers running out, alliances are tested and destinies intertwine, all leading to a thrilling climax that will determine the fate of humanity and hybrids.

A New Series Regular

In addition to the trailer, Netflix announced that Kelly Marie Tran will be joining the final season as a series regular. Tran, best known for playing Rose Tico in the Star Wars films and as the voice of Raya in Raya: The Last Dragon will play Rose, a character that does not seem to appear in the comics.

Sweet Tooth Summer

Sweet Tooth season 2 premiered a year ago. But fans will have to wait for Summer to find out what happens to the deer-boy and his crew. Netflix will drop the final season on June 6, when all of the episodes will be available to binge.
