For those who have thought of season 2 as the endgame, it will be exciting to learn that Sweet Tooth season 3 is all set to release with all its glory. However, this time, fans of the series have to brace themselves as the third installment will be the last that will conclude Gus and his friends' journey.

Besides the confirmation, it has also been revealed that the third season will see Amy Seimetz and Rosalind Chao have been promoted to series regular with the addition of new cast members. Unfortunately, Sweet Tooth season 3 won't see some of the recurring characters from season 3.

The filming of the third season was announced to be wrapped already in New Zealand on May 2023. Follow along with the article to learn more about Sweet Tooth season 3.

Sweet Tooth season 3 will be released on June 6, 2024

All eight episodes of Sweet Tooth season 3 will be released on Thursday, June 6, 2024. The episodes will likely have a run time of 37 to 59 minutes each. Given there had been no change made to the original staff, all episode directors, including Toa Fraser, Robyn Grace, and more, will be returning for the third time to do their magic that contributed to the series' success.

In an interview with Variety, the showrunner and executive producer of the series, Jim Mickle, expressed about the making of Sweet Tooth and how it left a lasting impact:

“In a lot of ways, it’s exactly the story that I imagined we would tell and in a lot of ways it takes on its own life. At the beginning, I think you set out to tell these landmark pieces of Gus’ story and the big pieces of the comic book, but the beauty of long-form storytelling and Gus’ journey over 24 episodes is the characters themselves tell you what they want to be.

Mickel praised the efforts of the cast and crew of Sweet tooth:

"The crew and cast bring so much depth and point of view to who the characters are and where they’ve come from and where they’re going,”

Mickle hinted at what comes next by subtly affirming that the upcoming plot developments will shake the foundation of Gus’ beliefs:

“Season 3 is an Arctic story with exciting new adventures and what we hope will be a satisfying conclusion to this epic tale. Gus is going to see a side of the world and humanity that he didn’t see in Season 1 or 2.”
