The Artful Dodger Season 2 was renewed a year ago in 2024, and Disney+ has just announced a launch date for it. The show serves as a sequel to Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist and follows Jack Dawkins, a pickpocket turned doctor. Season 1 of the show focused on young doctor Jack Dawkins having to return to a life of crime after Norbert Fagin, who had been his surrogate father, reappeared in his life.

Season 2, on the other hand, will focus on Jack running from Inspector Boxer, who is also someone who wants Lady Belle's affection, and there's a killer on the loose. Meanwhile, Jack and Fagin will go on their most dangerous robbery. There will be new characters and new challenges in The Artful Dodger Season 2, which will be released on Disney+ on February 10, 2026. Here's a guide to all the cast and characters of Season 2.
