Jim Mickle returns as showrunner, writer, director and executive producer of Sweet Tooth of which the first season was released worldwide on 4 June. A premiere date will be announced later.
Sweet Tooth is produced by Team Downey and Warner Bros. Television.
"It's been equally thrilling and heartwarming to experience how people around the world have been falling in love with our deer-boy," says Jim Mickle in a Netflix press release announcing the second season renewal.
"We couldn't be more excited to continue our collaboration with Netflix and keep following Gus and his friends on their extraordinary journey."
