LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA : Although 'Sweet Tooth' Season 2 is expected to premiere on Netflix at some point this year, rumors about what to expect from the upcoming season have already started, and the comics may provide some of the answers. In the fantasy television series 'Sweet Tooth', based on Jeff Lemire's comic books, Gus, a young deer-boy hybrid, searches for his mother in a world overrun by a pandemic. Season 2 of 'Sweet Tooth' is eagerly awaited because Season 1 ended with revealing a number of secrets and leaving many lives on the line.

Despite the wonderful and imaginative atmosphere that 'Sweet Tooth' creates on screen, the original material is significantly darker and spookier. Although the moods have changed dramatically from comics to television, the core of the story hasn't changed much. The second season of 'Sweet Tooth' can therefore be somewhat predicted based on the original comic books.

Netflix ‘Sweet Tooth’ Ending Explained: Can Aimme and Big man save the hybrids? What to expect in Season 2

1. Gus might gain a little independance in Season 2

Gus and a number of other hybrid youngsters are imprisoned at the Preserve by General Abbot at the end of 'Sweet Tooth' Season 1. Despite the unfavourable conditions, Gus finds a family among the other hybrids, something he has never known before, and therefore the situation isn't a total failure. Gus and the other hybrids are implied to band together and escape the Preserve in the end.

Gus' introduction to Abbot in the 'Sweet Tooth' comics shows him the horrors of hybrid experiments and validates the severity of their situation. Gus is inspired to leave the Preserve as a result. Even though the hybrid experiments will probably be scaled back in the TV series, Gus will probably still come to feel independent due to the fact that Abbot's objectives are actually what they seem to be. Gus may emerge as a leader in 'Sweet Tooth' Season 2 because he is separated from Jepperd and surrounded by other kids who require assistance. He won't be a dependent child anymore; instead, he'll be a leader who looks to others for assistance.

2. 'Sweet Tooth’s Hybrids will try to run away

In 'Sweet Tooth' Season 2, it's likely that the hybrid kids will also have their own escape strategies. They might even receive assistance from Dr Singh, who in the first season of 'Sweet Tooth' becomes even more opposed to conducting experiments on the hybrids after discovering that Gus can talk. Gus and the other hybrid kids attempt to leave the Preserve on their own in the comics, and it seems probable that this will happen in the series as well, especially if Gus takes charge of the group. Although this plot would depart from the comics, it fits with the way the television show is headed.

3. Jepperd will come across Dr Singh and his Son

It makes sense that Jepperd and Aimee, Gus, and Dr Singh will all come together given that the hybrid children's escape in 'Sweet Tooth' Season 2 appears to be imminent. Lemire penned a number of scenes in the comic books when Jepperd, Gus, and Singh cooperate to understand the Great Crumble, but their relationship might develop sooner in the television series. Yet due to Dr Singh's background in Sweet Tooth and his connections to Abbot and his hybrid experiments, there will probably be conflict between the characters, just like in the comics.

Despite not occurring in Lemire's comics, Jepperd and his kid may get back together in Season 2 of Sweet Tooth. At the conclusion of Season 1, it was made known that Jepperd had a wife and a hybrid son who vanished just before the pandemic was about to break out. When Gus is later taken to the Preserve, one of the hybrid kids appears to be a black sheep hybrid, just like Jepperd's son. This minor element suggests that Jepperd might encounter his son in 'Sweet Tooth' Season 2 and not even be aware of it.
