Sweet Tooth season 2 is almost out – and the Netflix series' showrunner Jim Mickle has teased the story is about to get even more ambitious. Mickle tells SFX magazine in the latest issue, which features Star Trek Picard on the cover, that there's plenty of space to tackle this after the first season expanded character arcs and back stories from the comics.
"Now we can take all these characters and really pit them against each other, but also start to dive into the mysteries too," he says. How the hybrids came to be, and how they are part of what wiped out humanity, will continue to be slowly revealed this season. The plucky menagerie, inspired by The Goonies, is represented through real kids wearing practical animal prosthetics – which Mickle says has been daunting.
