Disney+ has revealed first look images for its Australian original series The Artful Dodger, starring Thomas Brodie-Sangster, David Thewlis and Maia Mitchell. Created by James McNamara, David Maher and David Taylor as a co-production with Sony Pictures Television’s Curio Pictures and produced by Beach Road Pictures, the series will premiere November 29.

Described as an irreverent follow-up to Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, the series is set in 1850s Australia where Jack Dawkins, aka young rogue The Artful Dodger (Brodie-Sangster), is now all grown up and has transferred his skills as a pickpocket to the nimble fingers of a surgeon. 

His past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin (Thewlis), luring him back into a world of crime, while the local governor’s daughter (Maia Mitchell), who is determined to become the colony’s first female surgeon, appears to be a greater threat, at least to his heart.

Jo Porter represents Curio Pictures as executive producer, while David Maher and David Taylor represent Beach Road Pictures as executive producers.
