Netflix has announced Sweet Tooth season 3 which is also going to be the series finale. Sweet Tooth, the fantasy story of a human-deer hybrid surviving in the post apocalyptic world and trying to live a new life, has garnered a lot of love from viewers. While season 2 was darker than season 1, it piqued the curiosity in what the characters' future might hold.
The widely acclaimed Sweet Tooth season 1 was praised for its family-friendly approach towards emotional content.

Showrunner Jim Mickle believes that the show would wrap up the story as he had wanted it to with season 3. Moreover, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes will not affect Sweet Tooth since the filming for the show is already over.
