‘The Artful Dodger’ Teaser Trailer: First Look At Thomas Brodie-Sangster, David Thewlis & Maia Mitchell In Disney Series
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: We’re getting an exclusive look at the first footage and key art from Hulu original The Artful Dodger, Disney’s Australian series starring Thomas Brodie-Sangster, David Thewlis and Maia Mitchell.
It’s set to premiere Wednesday, November 29 on Hulu in the U.S. Billed as an irreverent follow-up to Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist exploring the adult double life of the famous prince of thieves, 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 (Mitchell), who is determined to become the colony’s first female surgeon, appears to be a greater threat, at least to his heart.
The eight-episode series is “a tale of reinvention, betrayal, redemption, and love with a twist,” with Damon Herriman, Miranda Tapsell and Tim Minchin leading the supporting cast.
