‘The Artful Dodger’ Renewed For Final Season At Hulu & Disney+

EXCLUSIVE: When it comes to Hulu and Disney+’s Oliver Twist sequel, it’s a case of: Please sir, I want some more.

The Artful Dodger has been renewed for a third and final season, with Thomas Brodie-Sangster (The Queen’s Gambit) reprising his role as the thieving title character.

David Thewlis (Landscapers) will return to the Australian original as Fagin, while Maia Mitchell (Good Trouble) will again play Lady Belle Fox. Filming gets underway in Sydney in the coming months.

Set in 1850s Australia, 15 years after the events of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, The Artful Dodger has become the most-viewed Australian original title on Disney+, according to the Mouse House.

Sony Pictures Television’s Curio Pictures’ Jo Porter and Rachel Gardner return as executive producers/producers, with Chris Martin-Jones (A Place to Call Home) as series producer. Ben Young (The Twelve) and Ben C. Lucas (The Survivors) return as directors.

BAFTA nominee Andrew Knight (Hacksaw Ridge) leads the scripting as executive producer, alongside Dan Knight (Irreverent) as script producer. Knight was the first season’s co-script lead and co-executive producer.

Kylie Watson-Wheeler, Disney Australia and New Zealand’s SVP and managing director, said: “The renewal is a testament to the quality of this show, and everyone involved in making it.”

Porter added: “We love that audiences have embraced the show’s unique blend of adventure, humour and romance, and we are planning for this season to be even more ambitious, surprising and unpredictable.”

Seasons 1 and 2 of The Artful Dodger are streaming on Disney+ globally and on Hulu in the U.S. The series was co-created by James McNarama, David Maher, and David Taylor.
