Disney has announced that filming has recently wrapped on the second season of the hit Australian original series, “The Artful Dodger”.

The series is set in 1850s Australia, 15 years after the events of Oliver Twist, Jack Dawkins’ past returns to haunt him as he moves back to the world of crime after leaving behind pick-pocketing to become a surgeon.

Returning talent includes Susie Porter as the formidable Lady Jane Fox, Damien Garvey as Governor Fox, devious Darius Cracksworth played by Tim Minchin, Lucy-Rose Leonard as Lady Fanny Fox, Nicholas Burton as Dr Sneed, Kim Gyngell as The Prof, Luke Carroll and Vivienne Awosoga continue to keep the hospital in order, and Aljin Abella, Brigid Zengeni and Albert Latailakepa are back with a bang as Fagin’s motley crew of thieves.
