Collider · 2 hours ago

Hulu's adaptation of *The Artful Dodger* has been renewed for a third season, which will also serve as its last. The series, based on characters from Charles Dickens' *Oliver Twist*, has followed the eponymous pickpocket after his transportation to Australia, where he has reinvented himself as a respected surgeon while concealing his criminal past. The renewal brings closure for fans after the second season ended on a cliffhanger, resolving uncertainty over whether the story would continue.

The show stars Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Jack Dawkins, the former Artful Dodger turned surgeon, and David Thewlis as his old mentor Fagin, whose reappearance threatens to expose Jack's secret past. It first premiered in 2023 and has joined a long line of Dickens adaptations, from the musical *Oliver!* to the animated *Oliver and Company*. According to Deadline, Hulu has confirmed the series will conclude with this upcoming third and final season.
