How to watch The Artful Dodger online right now

Oliver Twist's slickest operator gets his own story in new eight-part drama, The Artful Dodger. Jack Dawkins (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) reckons he's grown up and left his pickpocketing days behind, but it's not long before his past catches up with him.

Fans in the U.S. can watch The Artful Dodger exclusively on Hulu and you'll find it on Disney Plus in the U.K. and Australia. Viewers travelling abroad can watch The Artful Dodger from anywhere with a VPN.

We can think of better places to retrain as a surgeon than a ship en route to a penal colony in Australia, but you don't pick up a nickname like the Artful Dodger for nothing.

Slicing and dicing may be a respectable vocation, but it doesn't pay the bills, and so committed is Dawkins to his new life that he prefers to earn his keep by playing cards rather than pilfering.

The bad thing about gambling? You win some and you lose some, and when Dawkins is cheated out of a sizeable sum, he's faced with a choice. Resurrect the old art of dodging – or wave goodbye to one of his hands.

The close attentions of aspiring surgeon Lady Belle (Maia Mitchell) tighten his bind even further, while the unexpected arrival of Dawkins' scheming old mentor Fagin (David Thewlis) threatens to plunge him back into his old world.

You can watch The Artful Dodger online now and stream every episode of this gripping thriller on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney Plus in the U.K. and Australia. Use a VPN to watch when traveling overseas.
