We Finally Know the Fate of The Artful Dodger Season 3

Season 2 just dropped, and The Artful Dodger is back on the grift—but will Disney+ deal a Season 3 or call time on the caper? Here’s where renewal talks stand and the clues so far.

The Artful Dodger just rolled out its second season, and naturally everyone wants to know if there is more on the way. Short answer: nothing is locked yet. Here is where things actually stand.

Season 3 status

Disney+ has not renewed The Artful Dodger for Season 3. There is no cancellation either, so the door is open. The streamer tends to see how a new season performs before making a call, and with Season 2 arriving now, that decision likely hinges on how many people watch and how loudly they talk about it.

The upside: Season 1 landed strong with critics and viewers, pulling an 8/10 on IMDb and a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes. That kind of run usually gives a show momentum, and fan optimism is high that Jack Dawkins still has a few tricks left.

Season 2 is live

The second season premiered February 10, 2026, and all eight episodes are now streaming on Disney+. If you want to help Season 3 happen, you know what to do.

What this show actually is

It is a historical heist drama that treats Charles Dickens' famous pickpocket as a grown man trying to outrun who he used to be. The series acts as a sequel to Oliver Twist, reimagining Jack Dawkins in the 1850s after a turn as a Royal Navy surgeon. He has built a reputation as a sharp, well-regarded young doctor in Australia, and then Fagin strolls back into his life and yanks him perilously close to his old habits.

The show comes from James McNamara, David Maher, and David Taylor, who lean into the push-pull between respectability and temptation without losing the caper energy.

• Cast: Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Jack Dawkins (aka the Artful Dodger), David Thewlis as Norbert Fagin, Maia Mitchell as Lady Belle Fox, Damon Herriman as Captain Lucien Gaines, and more
• Setting: 1850s Australia, where scalpels and schemes share equal screen time
• Creators: James McNamara, David Maher, David Taylor
• Where to watch: All eight episodes of Season 2 are streaming on Disney+
• Track record: Season 1 pulled an 8/10 on IMDb and a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes

The bottom line

No renewal yet, no axe either. With Season 2 out now and a strong first-season pedigree, the odds look decent, but it is a waiting game until Disney+ speaks up. I will update when they do.
