help Sweet Tooth FAQ
Is Sweet Tooth based on a comic book?
Yes, the Netflix series is based on the DC Comics limited series created by Canadian writer and artist Jeff Lemire. The comic, which ran for 40 issues from 2009 to 2013, is much darker and more mature than the television adaptation. The showrunners made a conscious decision to make the show more family-friendly and whimsical.
Who plays Jepperd in Sweet Tooth?
The character Tommy Jepperd, a grizzled former professional football player who becomes a protector to Gus, is played by Nonso Anozie. He stars alongside Christian Convery, who plays the deer-human hybrid boy Gus. The dynamic between Anozie and Convery is the emotional core of the series.
Will there be a season 3 of Sweet Tooth?
Yes, Netflix renewed *Sweet Tooth* for a third season, and it was later confirmed to be the final season. Production for the final eight episodes took place in New Zealand. The final season is scheduled to premiere on Netflix in 2024, wrapping up Gus's journey to find his mother.
How is the TV show Sweet Tooth different from the comic?
The biggest difference is the tone; the comic book is incredibly violent and bleak, while the Netflix show leans heavily into fairytale elements and hope. Additionally, in the comic, the Great Crumble was caused by a genetic experiment, whereas the show leans into multiple conflicting theories, including a more environmental angle. Gus's personality is also much more innocent in the television adaptation.
