Summary
The future ofSweet Toothgets an interesting response from creator Jim Mickle.

In an exclusive interview withScreen Rant, Mickle hints atSweet Tooth’s future after its final season. According to the creator,there have been talks of moreSweet Tooth-relatedcontent. Mickle says this “would be a very different turn” from the current state ofSweet Tooth, while still staying true to the show’s fantasy world. Whether these additional seasons ofSweet Toothcome to fruition comes down to “whether the fans want it” and “whether Netflix wants it.” Check out the full quote from Mickle below:
Yeah, we’ve talked about ideas, and definitely have some of what that would look like that I think would be very cool, that would be a very different turn of what it is, but that I think would fit very neatly into Jeff’s world and the stories that he tells, and how we’ve told them. So, I have had those ideas in the past, it’s really all up to whether the fans want it, whether Netflix wants it, and what TV becomes as we go forward. I’m kind of always in a position of like, “Yes, there’s something there if we want to go forward, but it’s also in a really beautiful place where we landed it.” So, I’m happy either way.
Should More Sweet Tooth Seasons Happen?
The Main Characters Could Age Out Of Their Roles
Sweet Toothis based on the 46-issue Vertigo comic series created by Jeff Lemire. The Netflix rendition ofSweet Toothhas borrowed elements from the comic series but has not strictly adhered to its content, already expanding the world from the comics. This fact makes it such thatSweet Toothcould further expand its world while staying faithful to the show, given they have already taken several divergent paths.

While some songs in Sweet Tooth season 3’s soundtrack add more intensity to its upbeat tone, others bring more emotional heft to its poignant moments.
Sweet Toothhas maintained positive reviewsthroughout its run so far. Overall, the series has an impressive94% among critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Season 1 holds a certified fresh 97% on the critic aggregator site, whileSweet Toothseason 3 so far has a perfect 100% with 11 critic reviews, and a 79% approval rating among fans. The positive reception forSweet Toothsuggests that the series could support another season, even though season 3 is supposed to be its last.
Though Mickle seems confident in the expansion potential forSweet Tooth, there are several reasons why it makes sense for the series to end now. For one, the series is focused on a young adult story, where protagonist Gus starts out as a nine-year-old. The child actors, who carry a lot of the acting work in the series, are getting older, and will soon age out of their roles on the Netflix show. It would be hard to imagineSweet Toothwithout them, and with a well-concluded third season, it might make more sense to keep the show as is.
