First look at season two of The Artful Dodger teases high-stakes drama and fresh faces

The game is back on in Port Victory, as Disney+ unveils the official trailer for season two of The Artful Dodger, set to premiere on 10th February 2026.

Thomas Brodie-Sangster returns as the titular rogue in this fast-paced, irreverent spin on Oliver Twist, where medicine and mischief collide. But this time, Jack Dawkins is running out of lives. With an execution looming, a relentless new lawman on his tail (Luke Bracey’s Inspector Boxer), and his forbidden love for Lady Belle (Maia Mitchell) still burning, Jack is drawn into a dangerously elaborate heist by the ever-calculating Fagin (David Thewlis).

The trailer hints at a season packed with heart and humour, but also darker turns – with a murderer on the loose and shifting loyalties threatening the lives of everyone in Port Victory. New faces include Jeremy Sims as the shady Uncle Dickie and Zac Burgess as the mysterious Phineas Golden, alongside returning fan favourites like Susie Porter, Tim Minchin and Lucy-Rose Leonard.

Co-created by James McNamara, The Artful Dodger blends period drama with a knowing wink, and season two looks set to raise the stakes even higher.
