Gus starts a hybrid revolution in Sweet Tooth season 2 trailer

By

Any similarities between Netflix’s Sweet Tooth and HBO’s The Last of Us may be unintentional, but they are hard to deny in the latest trailer for the upcoming second season of the former. In The Last of Us, the cure to a plague that devastated humanity was in the body of a young girl named Ellie, and Sweet Tooth season 2 is also running with the idea that the human/animal hybrids can also heal the world — but only if they are sacrificed in the process. While Ellie never got to make her choice, Sweet Tooth‘s Gus (Christian Convery) has made his decision to stand up to his captors. And if he isn’t careful, it could be the Last of Gus!

The trailer opens with a look back at the origin of Gus and how he was created alongside his fellow hybrids. His mother/creator, Birdie (Amy Seimetz), says a voice-over about how she wanted to find him, only for the end of the world to get in the way. Unfortunately for Gus, he will have to free himself from the Last Men before he can resume his quest to find his mother. Thankfully, Gus’ friend and protector, Tommy Jepperd (Nonso Anozie), is doing everything he can to reunite with his young charge.

Two years ago, Netflix's Castlevania anime series pulled off a neat trick by giving every main character a happy ending, even Dracula! However, that happiness was never designed to last forever. This fall, the sequel series, Castlevania: Nocturne, will arrive, and it will restart the battle against the children of the night. And while Dracula may be out of the picture, a vampire messiah is prophesized to block out the sun and plunge humanity into a new age of darkness. That means another Belmont will have to take up the family business of hunting vampires.
