How Sweet Tooth's Creators Crafted the Perfect Piece of Pandemic Fiction

We recently had the chance to sit down with Jim Mickle and Beth Schwartz, the director and showrunner of Netflix’s Sweet Tooth, for a conversation about the philosophy behind their adaptation of Jeff Lemire’s beloved comic book series. They talk to us about their approach to the source material, the changes they made, and the challenges of putting out a show about a global pandemic, during an actual pandemic.

Sweet Tooth is an American fantasy drama streaming television series developed by Jim Mickle. It is based on the comic book of the same name by Canadian comic book writer Jeff Lemire. On a perilous adventure across a post-apocalyptic world, a lovable boy who’s half-human and half-deer searches for a new beginning with a gruff protector. The series stars Christian Convery, Nonso Anozie, Adeel Akhtar, Stefania LaVie Owen, Dania Ramirez, Will Forte, and James Brolin.

Series director Jim Mickle is known for such films as Mulberry Street and Stake Land. He also developed the SundanceTV series Hap and Leonard. Beth Schwartz, on the other hand, cut her teeth on The CW’s Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, eventually serving as showrunner for the final two seasons of the former.
