Fijian/Samoan Playwright and Director Toa Fraser was a Co-Executive Producer for the project, directed two episodes and helped showrunner Jim Mickle guide the season.
We asked him what it was like working on the show and what our Pasifika audience could look forward to watching it -
“After a few years working overseas, it was a real privilege to come back to Aotearoa, reconnect with the amazing NZ film crew community, and to help showrunner Jim Mickle tell this heart-felt, magical story. Inspired by Jeff Lemire’s beloved DC comic series, it’s a story about misfits, outcasts and the underdogs searching and fighting for their place in the world. There’s also a couple of fun Easter egg moments for Pasifika audiences. Plus: we shot most of it in Manurewa, one of the cultural capitals of the Moana.” - Toa Fraser
All episodes of Sweet Tooth premiere June 4th, 2021, only on Netflix.
