The Artful Dodger, the acclaimed Charles Dickens sequel series, has been officially renewed for a third and final season. Filming is set to take place in Australia in the coming months, and fans have taken to social media to express their mixed emotions.
Fan Reactions
Viewers have flooded X with reactions, both joyful and mournful. One fan posted: "It’s officially coming back to us for a third and final season. I’m in tears we won." Another echoed: "This announcement has really made my day…haven't loved a show this much in a long time."
A third exclaimed: "Yes, this is for sure one of the most amazing series I have ever watched. I am so happy! Season three let’s go!" However, someone else pointed out the dark teaser poster, commenting: "A post with funeral vibes, OMG I'm not ready to say goodbye."
Series Background
The Artful Dodger acts as a follow-up to Dickens' iconic Oliver Twist novel. The series follows former pickpocket Jack Dawkins, who now works as a skilled surgeon in Australia. His criminal past catches up with him as Fagin reappears in his life.
One aspect fans have loved is Jack’s romance with the governor’s ambitious daughter Lady Belle Fox, which is expected to play out once more in series three.
Cast and Tone
The upcoming season has been teased as "high-octane" and "packed with more grit, bigger heists and bolder hijinks." Thomas Brodie-Sangster, David Thewlis, and Maia Mitchell are confirmed to reprise their roles as Jack, Fagin, and Belle.
The Artful Dodger is available to watch on Disney Plus.
