Creator, showrunner, and executive producer Jim Mickle also spoke about the show's final run to Netflix's Tudum (opens in new tab). He said: "In a lot of ways, it’s exactly the story that I imagined we would tell and in a lot of ways it takes on its own life. At the beginning, I think you set out to tell these landmark pieces of Gus’ story and the big pieces of the comic book, but the beauty of long-form storytelling and Gus’ journey over 24 episodes is the characters themselves tell you what they want to be."

The second season only recently began on Netflix, but has been a mainstay in the streamer's top 10 shows since its release. The show, based on the comic book series of the same name, tells the story of a boy who's half-human and half-deer as he navigates a post-apocalyptic world.

Season 3 will head to Alaska for a road trip story like season 1. Speaking to Tudum, Gus star Convery also gave a hint at what to expect next. "Season 3 is darker than Season 2," he said. "Gus is growing alongside the series, starting to mature as the themes get darker. There’s a lot he has to deal with, and it’s peak Sweet Tooth intensity."
