The Netflix family-friendly fantasy series Sweet Tooth is back for a second season. Based on Jeff Lemire’s DC Comics series from 2009, 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.

The series comes from executive producers Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, Amanda Burrell and Linda Moran. Tudum shared some exciting details about the show's second season and there's a lot to look forward to as Gus' story continues.
