![]() I hadn't read the comics yet, so when I first saw the pilot, I was completely blown away," added Beth Schwartz, a writer and co-showrunner alongside Mickle.Ĭhristian Convery as Gus in Sweet Tooth. I was just finishing up that show when Warner Brothers called me about a pilot that Jim had shot called Sweet Tooth. "I was working on another show based on a comic book called Arrow. It was 2010 but it seemed like the world wasn't ready production-wise or audience wise until now," Mickle recalls of his first impression of Sweet Tooth. I picked it up and fell in love and thought if there was a way to make a movie out of it. I think I was in a comic book store and I remember seeing that cover and it drew me in. "When came out, there were only a couple of issues. He is also a "hybrid" - a new breed of half-human, half-animal creature that first appeared amid the deadly pandemic. The eight-episode series follows a nine-year-old boy with antlers travelling in a post-apocalyptic world to reach his mother in Colorado. Sweet Tooth is a live-action film based on a DC comic book of the same name by author Jeff Lemire. In many ways, it feels like a fairytale and is a new kind of dystopian story that is hopeful." ![]() We wanted to make a show that offers escape and adventure and create a world where nature is taking over. "I think the apocalypse has always had a specific look for a very long time and we wanted to turn that upside down. "As the world is going through dark times, we were looking for a tone that can give people a bit of hope or a sense of the future," Sweet Tooth writer and director Jim Mickle said of the show. A dystopian story about a mysterious virus that almost wipes out humanity may not sound like escapism right now as the real world deals with its own pandemic, however, the new Netflix hit series Sweet Tooth has elements that take a slightly different approach.
