Sweet Tooth is coming to an end with its final season arriving on June 6. The new trailer for the third and last installment teases the action-packed journey of Gus trying to save the world. (Hybrids, the Sick, and all.)
“For the last 10 years, everyone has wondered who's come first: the hybrid or the sick. I finally know the truth,” declares Dr. Aditya Singh at the start of the trailer. “We need to talk about Alaska.”
Singh believes that Gus (Christian Convery) is the “key” to end the virus that has been plaguing the world — and his infected wife Rani — because he was the first hybrid. (Gus is half-human, half-deer.)
“There has to be a way to save everyone. There has to!” Gus says.
The trailer sees Gus going into a cave, walking through mountains with Big Man (Nonso Anonzie), and meeting with a new villain, Mrs. Helen Zhang (Rosalind Chao) along the way.
“Undoing hybrids isn't enough. We have to eradicate them,” says Zhang before Bear (Stefania LaVie Owen) chuckles. “What's so funny, huh?”
“Your ignorance,” she replies.
Zhang and her crew the Wolf Boys are working their way to restart human birth and think that getting rid of the hybrids is the best way forward. Convery told Tudum it'll be a road trip story like the show's first season — but much darker.
“Gus is growing alongside the series, starting to mature as the themes get darker. There's a lot he has to deal with, and it's peak Sweet Tooth intensity,” he told the Netflix outlet.
Sweet Tooth is executive-produced by Robert Downey, Jr. and Susan Downey, and it's based on a graphic novel by Jeff Lemire. “In telling the story of a little boy with deer antlers and his massive, taciturn protector, the show achieved an off-kilter, dystopian sweetness that made for a winning combination,” a Rolling Stone review said of the show.
