Disney+ has revealed first look images for its Australian original series The Artful Dodger, starring Thomas Brodie-Sangster, David Thewlis and Maia Mitchell, along with a premiere date of 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. “From heists and life-and-death surgeries to the harsh realities of the criminal world mingling with the middle ground and gentry, this eight-part series is a tale of reinvention, betrayal, redemption, and love with a twist,” says the blurb on the production.
The series is 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.
