The Artful Dodger Season 2: Episode Count and Full Release Schedule Revealed
After a cliffhanger first season and a two-year-plus wait, The Artful Dodger Season 2 is finally on deck—here’s how many episodes to expect and when each one drops.
Two-plus years later, the pickpocket-turned-surgeon is back. If you were waiting to see whether The Artful Dodger would actually return after that Season 1 ender, you can exhale. Season 2 lands this week, and yes, it comes ready to binge.
The quick hit: what you need to know

Plenty of streamers love a split-season or weekly trickle. This show is doing the opposite again: all of Season 2 arrives the same day, just like its first run. After an energetic debut and a finale that practically waved a renewal flag, the long wait makes this week’s full-season drop feel like a small victory.
The setup (for your memory)
'It is a tale of reinvention, betrayal, redemption, and love with a twist. Jack Dawkins is The Artful Dodger, whose pickpocketing fingers have become the skilled hands of a surgeon. He is torn between an impossible love and the criminal underworld he secretly craves. This will require Artfulness.'
That’s the show in a nutshell: a nimble, morally messy period caper anchored by Brodie-Sangster and a delightfully slippery David Thewlis, with Maia Mitchell keeping the sparks (and consequences) flying. If you were waiting to plan your binge, the calendar is set and the count is eight. Enjoy the drop day.
