The Dodger will see you now.

Did you ever wonder what happened to The Artful Dodger in Oliver? Well, wonder no more.

Set in 1850s Australia, in the lively colony of Port Victory, Jack Dawkins is The Artful Dodger, whose fast, pickpocketing fingers have turned into the skilled hands of a surgeon. Dodger’s past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin, luring him back into a world of crime. A greater threat – to Dodger’s heart – is Lady Belle, the Governor’s daughter, determined to become the colony’s first female surgeon. From heists to life-and-death surgeries, to the harsh realities of the criminal world mingling with the middle ground and gentry. This is a tale of reinvention, betrayal, redemption, and love with a twist.

And check out the cast... Thomas Brodie-Sangster, David Thewlis, and Maia Mitchell - plus incredible Australian talent Damon Herriman, Miranda Tapsell, Tim Minchin, Susie Porter, and many more.

The Artful Dodger streams on Disney Plus from November 29th.
