Once Upon A Time star Dania Ramirez has reportedly been cast in new Netflix drama Sweet Tooth, which has Robert Downey Jr.'s Team Downey as executive producers.
Deadline reports that the eight-episode series, which is based on the DC Vertigo comic of the same name, will follow the adventures of a part deer, part boy hybrid child named Gus who leaves his home in the forest only to find that the outside world has been rocked by a horrific event.
He joins up with a group of other animal-children hybrids and humans in an attempt to find answers about this new world and discover how and why the hybrids came about.
