No release date has been revealed for the second season just yet, but most scripted streaming dramas at Netflix operate on a one-year production cycle (barring pandemic-related delays). “We couldn’t be more excited to continue our collaboration with Netflix and keep following Gus and his friends on their extraordinary journey.”

“It’s been equally thrilling and heartwarming to experience how people around the world have been falling in love with our deer-boy,” creator Jim Mickle said of the renewal. Sweet Tooth season 2 release dateut?Ĭonfirmed: Sweet Tooth will definitely be returning for another run, comprising of eight more one-hour long episodes. Read on for everything we know about Netflix's potential Sweet Tooth season two. “We’re concentrating obviously on the launch for season one, but we definitely broke season one with the hope of future seasons,” she told. The Sweet Tooth ending featured a major cliffhanger that left the fate of Gus (Christian Convery) and his fellow hybrids hanging in the balance, with co-showrunner Beth Schwartz revealing at the time that she was keen to continue the tale. On paper, this approach may not seem any different from " ugly" Sonic's hyper-realistic CGI, but as the show clearly establishes, it makes Bobby appear a lot more tangible and visually enjoyable.Season one charmed viewers with its post-apocalyptic fairytale following a young deer-boy searching for his family in a ravaged future America, but left many questions unanswered – and it looks like we can now expect some conclusions.

What is all the more fascinating is that even Bobby, a human-groundhog hybrid with almost no human features, has been artificially created using a puppet system with hardly any CGI. As showcased on Twitter by showrunner Jim Mickle, Bobby's torso and head are hooked to two poles, while his limbs are synced with the puppeteer’s feet. Sweet Tooth actor Christian Convery revealed (via YouTube) that Gus's deer ears are real and their twitching movement is controlled by a puppeteer. Most of its hybrid characters are played by child actors who mostly wear prosthetics, which grounds their appearance in reality. With minimal CGI and more practical real-life character designs, Sweet Tooth completely avoids the uncanny valley problem.

Movie Delay Could Prevent A Sonic Design Repeat Cats' disturbing humanoid felines and The Polar Express' overly expressive animated characters received similar reactions and were unfortunately not able to reverse the damage. Sonic was not the first fictional movie character that fell deep into the uncanny valley of CGI, however. The look of the movie version of the iconic Sega video game speedster was denounced for its strikingly human teeth, fingers, and narrow eyes, and was even touted as " an abomination." Taking the overwhelming criticism seriously, Sonic's creators were quick to redesign the character and overturn the frenzy of memes coming their way. The show ingeniously highlights this contrast by using a bright, lush color palette as the backdrop of its bleak world and a roster of cutesy half-human, half-animal characters who do not get caught in the uncanny chasm of extreme CGI.Ĭomparatively, Sonic the Hedgehog's initial character design was met with immense criticism and social media fury.

Contrasting its relatively dark source material, Netflix's Sweet Tooth portrays a post-apocalyptic world where politics and propaganda run rampant but are balanced by traces of hope, love, and peace. A new behind-the-scenes Sweet Tooth season 2 trailer reveals how the show avoids reliance on pure CGI, which dodges the " ugly" Sonic the Hedgehog problem.
