Based on the DC comic book series by Jeff Lemire, Sweet Tooth is an epic saga that takes place in a mostly post-apocalyptic world where the existence of human and animal hybrid creatures is seemingly normal. Lemire’s limited book series ran from 2009 to 2013 with a total of 40 issues, so the fantasy drama has plenty of content to adapt from.
The show is set ten years after The Great Crumble, which led to the mysterious emergence of these part human, part animal babies. Most humans fear and hunt these hybrids because they’re unsure of their origins, assuming they are the result of a notorious virus (uh oh!).
