Netflix has confirmed that their adaptation of Jeff Lemire’s Vertigo comic Sweet Tooth will be arriving on June 4.

The eight-episode series takes place years after “The Great Crumble” changed everything. A hybrid deer-boy befriends a wandering loner and they embark on an extraordinary adventure through the dangerous, but lush world left behind in order to find the meaning of home.

“We wanted to make a show that offers escape and adventure, where nature is reclaiming the world and in many ways it feels like a fairy tale,” writer, executive producer and director Jim Mickle explained. “‘Sweet Tooth’ is a new kind of dystopian story, it’s very lush and hopeful. We want people to come into this world where there’s beauty and hope and adventure. This is a sweeping story — we ride on trains, climb mountaintops, run through forests. This is a show about what makes a family, what home really means, and why it’s important to keep faith in humanity.”

The cast includes Christian Convery, Nonso Anozie, Adeel Akhtar, Aliza Vellani, Stefania LaVie Owen, Dania Ramirez, Neil Sandilands, Will Forte and James Brolin.
