‘The Artful Dodger’ Renewed for Third and Final Season at Hulu and Disney+

Hulu and Disney+ have picked up the Oliver Twist prequel series for its final run, bringing back Thomas Brodie-Sangster and adding returning cast member David Thewlis, according to Deadline.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Hulu and Disney+ have renewed The Artful Dodger for what the streaming platforms are calling its third and final season, the project’s distributor announced in an August 4 report. The series, a sequel to the world of Oliver Twist, returns under the same franchise umbrella with Thomas Brodie-Sangster set to reprise the title role, Deadline reported.

Deadline described the renewal as a continuation of the show’s Oliver Twist sequel storyline at Hulu and Disney+, with the final-season pickup tied to the series’ ongoing production for the platforms. The report also framed the move as the end of the series run rather than an additional multi-year expansion.

Brodie-Sangster, known for playing in The Queen’s Gambit, is scheduled to return as the thieving title character, according to the Deadline report. The announcement positions the actor as a central throughline for the final chapter of the series’ arc.

The report further said David Thewlis (Landscapers) will also return for the final season, adding continuity to the show’s established ensemble. Deadline did not provide additional casting beyond those returns in the excerpted information.

The Artful Dodger’s renewal keeps the production tied to the Hulu and Disney+ release footprint, maintaining the show’s established distribution model across the two Disney streaming services. Because this is described as the final season, the renewal also narrows the window for viewers to watch future episodes within the existing continuity.

No specific premiere date, episode count, or production timeline was included in the information provided for this renewal announcement. Deadline’s report indicates the final-season plan is moving forward, but further details on dates and rollout were not stated in the available text.

As Hulu and Disney+ prepare to release the last set of episodes for The Artful Dodger, viewers will be able to track the series’ conclusion on the same platforms where the show has been made available, with returning lead and supporting cast members anchored for the ending.

The third season will mark the series’ conclusion under the current creative and production slate, with the renewal indicating an intent to wrap storylines rather than continue the property beyond the final-season commitment described by the platforms’ announcement.

Why It Matters

  • The renewal determines the show’s end point for audiences on Hulu and Disney+ rather than extending it beyond a final-season plan.
  • Returning lead and supporting cast members shape production continuity for the series conclusion.
  • The Hulu and Disney+ distribution commitment keeps the series within the Disney streaming ecosystem for its ending chapter.
  • The lack of dates or episode counts in the available reporting means viewers will need later platform or production announcements for the release schedule.
