The Netflix family-friendly fantasy series Sweet Tooth is back for a third and final season. Based on Jeff Lemire's 2009 DC Comics series, the story follows a young boy trying to find his way through the Great Crumble, a chaotic period of time after 98% of the world's population was killed off by a virus. One side effect of the virus is that children started to be born with half-human, half-animal features.
For Gus (Christian Convery), life as a half-human hybrid has never been easy. Now, he and his friends must rally their strength to figure out what caused the Great Crumble in the first place and fight back against those who would oppress them.
"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," showrunner Jim Mickle told Netflix's Tudum. “At the beginning, I think you set out to tell these landmark pieces of Gus' story and the big pieces of the comic book, but the beauty of long-form storytelling and Gus' journey over 24 episodes is the characters themselves tell you what they want to be."
Here's what we know about Sweet Tooth season 3.

"[It’s] another road trip story like season 1, but in a very different way. Season 3 is an arctic story with exciting new adventures and what we hope will be a satisfying conclusion to this epic tale. Gus is going to see a side of the world and humanity that he didn't see in season 1 or 2"
