Disney announced today that The Artful Dodger has been picked up for a second season. The news comes a year after the Australian crime dramedy released its freshman run on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally.
"We're thrilled to give our global audiences what they've been asking for with a second season of The Artful Dodger," said Kylie Watson-Wheeler, Senior Vice President of The Walt Disney Company Australia and New Zealand, in a statement. "The return of our Australian-born Disney+ Original scripted drama, complete with all-star cast and a brilliant crew, is a testament to the series' high caliber of production and its local and international audience success. We're delighted this high-stakes romantic drama of heists, comedy and beautifully complicated life and love will thrill and entertain again."
Billed as a follow-up to Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, the series is set in 1850s Australia in the colony of Port Victory, where Jack Dawkins, aka The Artful Dodger, has left pickpocketing behind to become a surgeon. But his past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin, luring him back into a world of crime. He also becomes captivated by Lady Belle, the Governor's daughter, who has her eyes set on becoming the colony's first female surgeon.

Sweet! I really liked this one so I thought it would be cancelled for sure. Glad it’s getting a second season. Definitely a hidden gem IMHO.
