Does Sweet Tooth season 2 have a release date?

Netflix has not announced the Sweet Tooth season 2 release date yet. But we can make an educated guess. The filming for the first season concluded around mid-December 2020. Season 1 premiered on Netflix on June 4, 2021.

If the show follows the same schedule, we can expect Sweet Tooth Season 2 to release on Netflix in Dec 2022. However, our best bet would be the first quarter of 2023. You have no need to worry as we will update you when Netflix announces the premiere date.

When his father dies of sickness, Gus gets alone in a world and almost gets kidnapped by a deadly group of men, until a mysterious loner named Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) rescues him.

Sweet Tooth Season 2 concluded with Gus taken to Dr. Aditya Singh (Adeel Akhtar), who is despairing to find a vaccine for the H5G9 virus. But after hearing about Gus, he realizes that this hybrid-born boy can’t be divided. Instead, he decides to continue his experiments on Gus.
