The acclaimed historical series 'The Artful Dodger' has returned for its second season, now available for streaming on Disney+. This period drama, inspired by Charles Dickens' classic novel 'Oliver Twist', continues the story of Jack Dawkins, also known as The Artful Dodger, 15 years after the events of the original tale.

In this new season, Jack Dawkins has transitioned from a life of crime to serving as a Royal Navy surgeon in 1850s Australia, showcasing his growth and rehabilitation. However, the drama intensifies as Jack's past threatens his new-found stability, particularly with the reemergence of familiar faces from his earlier life. The series has garnered critical acclaim, being described as one of the best historical series of the decade, which adds to the anticipation surrounding the new episodes.

As viewers can now binge-watch the entire season, the series not only explores themes of redemption and identity but also delves into the modern implications of social class and morality in a historical context. The Artful Dodger's mix of nostalgia, adventure, and complex characters promises to captivate both new viewers and long-time fans of Dickens' work, further solidifying its place in contemporary television drama.
