The Artful Dodger Surges to No. 3 Worldwide After Season 2 Debut

When The Artful Dodger premiered in November 2023, its inventive take on Dickens and a cast including Thomas Brodie‑Sangster and Maia Mitchell quickly won viewers over. Season 1 earned a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and after more than two years the series returned with Season 2 on February 10, 2026.

FlixPatrol now places the show at No. 3 on the worldwide Hulu streaming charts. The drama follows Jack Dawkins in the 1850s British Colony of Australia, where the former pickpocket—now a respected surgeon—comes under the sway of Fagin and is pulled back toward crime.

What begins with gambling debts expands into a web of theft, deception and blackmail, with Lady Belle Fox, an aspiring surgeon, caught in the middle and forming a tense romantic chemistry with Jack. Season 2 picks up six months after the first season finale and has reached a rare 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
