It’s Wednesday and time to take a look at what’s new on Disney+ in the United Kingdom and Ireland, which includes the new 20th Century Studios film and a brand new Australian original series.

Here’s the rundown:

The Artful Dodger

An irreverent follow up to Dickens’ Oliver Twist exploring the adult double life of Charles Dickens’ famous prince of thieves. Set in 1850’s Australia, in the lively colony of Port Victory, we meet Jack Dawkins, The Artful Dodger, who’s transferred his fast fingers as a pickpocket to the nimble skilled fingers of a surgeon. Dodger’s past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin, luring him back into a world of crime. A greater threat – to Dodger’s heart – is Lady Belle, the Governor’s daughter, determined to become the colony’s first female surgeon. From heists to life-and-death surgeries, from soirées to street violence, this is a tale of reinvention, betrayal, redemption and love with a twist.

The Creator

The film, which stars John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles, and Allison Janney, is set amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence. Joshua (Washington), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (Chan), is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war…and mankind itself. Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory, only to discover the world-ending weapon he’s been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child (Voyles).

Percy, Annabeth, and Grover must resist the alluring draw of a casino that feels outside of time.

The Jewel Thief

A heist documentary about a teenage bank robber from Omaha, Nebraska named Gerald Blanchard, who orchestrated what is thought to be the most sophisticated heist of all time — the robbery of Austria’s crown Jewel, the “Sisi Star.” Gerald Blanchard tells the story alongside his mother, and the two Canadian cops who brought him down.

Siempre Fui Yo (Season 2)

The second season of “It Was Always Me” (“Siempre Fui Yo”) begins three years after the TV contest Lucas Martin Presenta: El Camino de El Faraón, when its participants meet again on Pipe’s – now one of Colombia’s most famous rockstars – private island to record a reunion album. Everything has changed dramatically: while Lupe is settled in Mexico working as a journalist, Noah spends his days in a bar he inherited from his family in Colombia. It seems that the reunion album is the perfect opportunity for everyone to reconnect after so long, but everything gets complicated when on the first night a valuable necklace that El Faraón gave Lupe disappears. In a mysterious and indecipherable way, everyone’s secrets begin to come to light, creating tension between the old friends and threatening to destroy the lives they built.
