Start date for second season fantasy series Sweet Tooth

After a waiting period of no less than 22 months, Netflix series Sweet Tooth will return in April with a second season, consisting of eight episodes. Here's what to expect from the second series, according to the official logline: "As a deadly new wave of the Sick descends, Gus (Christian Convery) and a group of fellow hybrids are held captive by General Abbot (Neil Sandilands) and the Last Man.

Abbot, seeking to consolidate his power by finding a cure, uses the children as fodder for Dr. Aditya Singh (Adeel Akhtar), who wants to save his infected wife Rani (Aliza Vellani). To protect his friends, Gus agrees to kill Dr. Singh, embarking on a dark journey into his origins and his mother Birdie's (Amy Seimetz) role in the events leading up to The Great Crumble."



Off the reservation, Tommy Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) and Aimee Eden (Dania Ramirez) team up to free the hybrids, a partnership that is put to the test when Jepperd's secrets come to light. As the revelations of the past threaten the possibility of redemption in the present, Gus and his found family find themselves on a collision course with Abbot and the evil forces bent on wiping them out once and for all."

The second season of Sweet Tooth will be streaming on Netflix from Thursday, April 27.
