What to Expect from Sweet Tooth Season 3

In the press release for Sweet Tooth season 3, Netflix unveiled a synopsis for the third season;

“Having defeated General Abbot in the battle at Pubba’s Cabin, Gus (Christian Convery), Jepperd (Nonso Anozie), Becky (Stefania LaVie Owen), and Wendy (Naledi Murray) embark on a journey to Alaska in search of Gus’s mother, Birdie (Amy Seimetz), who has been working to uncover the mysterious origins of the deadly Sick. Along the way, they are joined by Dr. Singh (Adeel Akhtar), who may have his own dangerous beliefs about Gus and his role in reversing the virus. Meanwhile, a new threat emerges in the form of Helen Zhang (Rosalind Chao), her daughter Rosie (Kelly Marie Tran), and the ferocious Wolf Boys, who seek to restart human birth and view Gus as the solution to their plans. As they navigate through perilous terrain, Gus and his group of friends find refuge at the Outpost in Alaska, where they meet a new ensemble of characters including Siana (Cara Gee) and her hybrid daughter Nuka (Ayazhan Dalabayeva). With the clock to find answers running out, alliances are tested and destinies intertwine, all leading to a thrilling climax that will determine the fate of humanity and hybrids.”

Showrunner Jim Mickle shared his thoughts on the final season in an interview with Tudum:

“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. 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.”

Will Gus meet his Mom?

By the end of the season, Gus, Jepperd, Becky, and Wendy will have left Wyoming and traveled to Alaska.

As the potential key to the cure of the Sick, aka the H5G9 Virus, it’s imperative for the rest of the human race that Gus can make it to Alaska and help his mom, Birdie, to develop a cure.

Will Dr. Singh attempt to kidnap Gus?

Dr. Singh became so obsessed with his work that it repulsed his wife, Rani, who left him in season 2 and destroyed his research.

Rather than trying to find his wife, Dr. Singh pursues Gus and is determined to continue his research. There may come an opportunity for Dr. Singh to strike when their guard is down, but chances will be slim.

Alternatively, if Dr. Singh learns that Birdie is alive, he may throw his eggs into that basket and try to continue his research by helping her find a cure. However, if Birdie is alive, the chances of letting a man help her who caused such harm to her son are incredibly slim.

Is Birdie alive?

We previously wondered whether Birdie was alive. But thanks to the new images of the final season, we can confirm that she is.

What’s in Zhang’s cage?

It’s more than likely that the creatures inside her cage are hybrids, particularly hybrids that are part-predator.

As the series has deviated from the comics, the creatures in the cage could be ‘The Dog Boys,’ a group of cannibalistic dog-hybrid children cruelly raised to be nothing more than weapons.

If Zhang goes after Gus, expect her to bring her ravenous hybrid pets to hunt them down.
