The Fate of 'The Artful Dodger' Has Officially Been Decided

Image via Hulu Published Aug 4, 2026, 10:51 AM EDT A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation." An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist has proved fertile ground for adaptations in the almost two centuries since its publication. It has seen its principal characters become a singing, dancing, ensemble of ragged street orphans in Oliver!, modern-day criminals in Twist, and even animated cats and dogs in Oliver and Company. One of the most notable modern adaptations is the Hulu series The Artful Dodger. The series follows the title character, the most skilled of Fagin's child thieves, after his arrest and transportation to Australia, as seen in the end of the novel. Decades on, he's become a respected Australian surgeon, Jack Dawkins (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), and has kept his criminal past a secret. This becomes even more challenging when his old mentor, Fagin (David Thewlis), turns up. After premiering in 2023, the series got a second season, which ended on a cliffhanger. But will we ever see it resolved? The Artful Dodger has dodged cancellation one last time. Deadline reports that the series will return for a third and final season on Hulu.
