An irreverent follow-up to Charles Dickens’ classic novel, “Oliver Twist,” the new series The Artful Dodger explores the double life of Jack Dawkins — Dickens’ famous prince of thieves.
Set in 1850s Australia, in the lively colony of Port Victory, Jack Dawkins (i.e. The Artful Dodger) has transferred his fast fingers as a pickpocket to the skilled hands of a surgeon. But Dodger’s past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin, who wants to lure him back into a world of crime. And an even greater threat — to Dodger’s heart — is Lady Belle, the Governor’s daughter, who is determined to become the colony’s first female surgeon.
From heists to life-and-death surgeries, from soirées to street brawls, The Artful Dodger is a tale of reinvention, betrayal, redemption, and love… with a twist.
The Artful Dodger is streaming November 29th on Hulu.
