Sweet Tooth is based on the DC’s Vertigo imprint comic book of the same name by Jeff Lemire. The show is produced by Team Downey, the production company founded by Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey, with Jim Mickle serving as showrunner and director. Season 1 begins with a catastrophic event known as “The Great Crumble,” which leads to the emergence of human-animal hybrid children.

The protagonist, Gus, is a young boy who is part human and part deer. Raised in isolation by his father in a remote forest, Gus embarks on a journey to find his mother after his father’s death. Along the way, he teams up with Jepperd, a gruff protector. The first season received widespread acclaim for its heartwarming story and strong performances from Christian Convery and Nonso Anozie.

The tone of the comic is darker and grittier right from the start, whereas the Sweet Tooth television show balances its dark themes with moments of hope and heartwarming character interactions.

Season 2 continues Gus’s journey as he, along with his friends, confronts new threats and uncovers more about his origins and details about the hybrids. The main antagonist, General Abbot, captures Gus and other hybrids, leading to a battle to rescue them. The second outing received positive reviews for its storytelling and visual spectacle. Due to its success, Sweet Tooth was picked up for Season 3.

The Sweet Tooth comic book series follows a similar premise to Season 1 through Season 3 of the television show. It focused on Gus, a boy with deer-like features, who ventures into a world decimated by a plague. While the core storyline remains consistent, the adaptation makes some changes for a broader audience appeal. 

The tone of the comic is darker and grittier right from the start, whereas the Sweet Tooth television show balances its dark themes with moments of hope and heartwarming character interactions. The Netflix show also expands on certain characters and plotlines to suit the serialized format.
