Disney+ has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original drama series The Artful Dodger starring Thomas Brodie-Sangster.

An irreverent follow-up to Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist exploring the adult double life of the famous prince of thieves, Jack Dawkins (Brodie-Sangster), aka the Artful Dodger, has transferred his fast fingers as a pickpocket to the nimble skilled fingers of a surgeon in 1850s Australia. But Dodger's past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin, luring him back into a world of crime.
In addition to Brodie-Sangster, the drama stars David Thewlis, Maia Mitchell, Damon Herriman, Miranda Tapsell, Tim Minchin, Susie Porter, Kym Gyngell, Damien Garvey, Jessica De Gouw, Andrea Demetriades, Luke Carroll, Huw Higginson, Lucy-Rose Leonard, Nicholas Burton, Jude Hyland, Finn Treacy and Albert Latailakepa.
