Sweet Tooth (TV Series)

Sweet Tooth is the 2021 Netflix TV series based on the DC/Vertigo comic series of the same name created by Jeff Lemire.

Netflix provides this synopsis: Ten years ago “The Great Crumble” wreaked havoc on the world and led to the mysterious emergence of hybrids — babies born part human, part animal. Unsure if hybrids are the cause or result of the virus, many humans fear and hunt them. After a decade of living safely in his secluded forest home, a sheltered hybrid deer-boy named Gus (Christian Convery) unexpectedly befriends a wandering loner named Jepperd (Nonso Anozie). Together they set out on an extraordinary adventure across what’s left of America in search of answers— about Gus' origins, Jepperd's past, and the true meaning of home. But their story is full of unexpected allies and enemies, and Gus quickly learns the lush, dangerous world outside the forest is more complex than he ever could have imagined.

The cast also includes Will Forte, with James Brolin as the voice of the narrator. In July, actress Dania Ramirez (X-Men: The Last Stand) joined the cast. Neil Sandilands (who played the season four villain on The Flash) joined the cast in August, General Steven Abbot a man who has risen to power, post-apocalypse. Stefania Lavie Owen (Messiah) is playing Bear, leader of the Animal Army.

Jim Mickle and Beth Schwartz are named as executive producers / writers / co-showrunners. Also executive producing are Robert Downey Jr, Susan Downey, Amanda Burrel and Linda Moran. Team Downey's Evan Moore is producing.

Netflix has ordered eight one-hour episodes for season one.
