What to expect in Sweet Tooth Season 3?
The previous season of Sweet Tooth ended with Gus and his friends taking shelter in a sanctuary for hybrids. It is revealed that the sanctuary is led by Birdie (Amy Seimetz) who shields it from the outside world, while also searching for a cure to the virus causing the hybrid births. Birdie potentially holds crucial information about how to stop the virus. Her meeting with Gus is significant, as he assumes she is his mother. Dr Singh is also expected to contribute to the virus problem.
Sweet Tooth season 3 is likely to pick up right from the last episode of season 2 and show a meeting between Gus and Birdie.
After General Abbott's defeat at the Yellowstone cabin, the hybrids might have to undertake another quest, which showrunner Jim Mickle hinted at. The show may or may not end up following the original arc of the comics, but the hope is that the characters find a way for humans and hybrids to co-exist peacefully.
Sweet Tooth Season 3, the show's final instalment and will stream on Netflix starting June 6, 2024.
