Sweet Tooth Season 3 Release on Netflix? Plot and Everything You Need to Know About the Grand Finale
It was last May 2023 when Netflix announced the renewal of Sweet Tooth for a third and final season. The Netflix series based on Jeff Lemire’s comics will end with the next chapter of the series which will debut on Netflix very, very soon. But when? Before revealing it to you, let’s do a little recap on the series and how we left off at the end of the second season. Here’s everything we know so far about Sweet Tooth Season 3 and when it will be released on Netflix. Just a week after the launch of its second season, Netflix announced today, Wednesday, the final renewal of Sweet Tooth (Deer Boy).
The series will soon return with a third and final season. As its showrunner, Jim Mickle, has explained, the decision to end it is for creative reasons. ‘In many ways, this is exactly the short story I imagined we were going to tell. The beauty of being able to tell Gus’ story in 24 episodes is that all of his characters have the opportunity to tell what they want to be. Both our team and our cast have given them great depth, as well as a unique point of view,’ he noted. Said third season has already been recorded and in it, we will live ‘new adventures that will take us to an ending that we hope will be satisfactory.’
Sweet Tooth Season 3: How Many Episodes Will It Have?

After the announcement of the new features in February, Netflix released the first official images of Sweet Tooth Season 3. This is one of the series arriving in 2024 anticipated by the teaser which presents some of the most important new features arriving on the platform during 2024. Among these, there is also the highly anticipated The Umbrella Academy Season 4 which is shown in the first official image of what will be the last season.
The Plot of Sweet Tooth
As a new wave of the Affliction approaches, Gus (Christian Convery) and a group of fellow hybrids are prisoners of General Abbot (Neil Sandilands) and the Last Men. In an attempt to consolidate his power by seeking a cure, Abbot uses the children for experiments by captive doctor Aditya Singh (Adeel Akhtar), who is desperate to save his infected wife Rani (Aliza Vellani). To protect his friends, Gus agrees to help Dr. Singh and begins a harrowing exploration of his origins and his mother Birdie’s (Amy Seimetz) role in the events leading up to the Great Collapse. Off the Reservation, Tommy Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) and Aimee Eden (Dania Ramirez) team up to free the hybrids, but their alliance will be tested as Jepperd’s secrets emerge. When revelations from the past threaten the possibility of redemption in the present, Gus and his adopted family find themselves on a collision course with Abbot and the evil forces that want to destroy them once and for all.
