The Artful Dodger Season 2 Episodes 1–8 Release Date
The Artful Dodger Season 2 Episodes 1–8 release together on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, as a full-season drop rather than a weekly schedule. All eight episodes arrive on the same day, which means viewers can go straight from Episode 1 to Episode 8 without waiting a week for cliffhangers to resolve.
Season 2 has been confirmed as an eight-episode run, continuing the story of Jack Dawkins in Port Victory with a tighter, binge-friendly structure that suits the show’s mix of crime, surgery, and period drama.
For many viewers, this kind of one-day drop tends to turn into “just one more episode” until the entire season somehow disappears in a single night.
When and where to watch The Artful Dodger Season 2 Episodes 1–8
The Artful Dodger Season 2 Episodes 1–8 will stream globally on Disney+ and on Hulu in the US from February 10, 2026, with all episodes available the same day. The rollout time is 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET in the United States, matching the usual overnight streaming window that many platforms use for new originals.
Viewers in other regions will see the show arrive in their local time equivalent on Disney+, which can mean a convenient morning or evening drop depending on the time zone.
It is the kind of release that often leads to group chats filling up with “have you reached Episode 4 yet?” warnings, so watching early helps avoid spoilers.

About The Artful Dodger Season 2
The Artful Dodger Season 2 continues the story of Jack Dawkins, the former London pickpocket turned surgeon in 1850s Port Victory, picking up after the emotional and moral cliffhangers of Season 1.
The new season promises more high-risk surgeries, morally messy heists, and complicated relationships, especially as Fagin’s criminal world keeps colliding with Belle’s ambitions and Jack’s attempt to reinvent himself.
Official descriptions highlight “more cunning thievery, snappy humor, life-and-death surgeries, and romance with a twist,” suggesting that Season 2 leans into both the darker stakes and the sharp, witty tone that made the first run stand out.
The show remains an unusual blend: a sequel to Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist that feels like a character study, a heist series, and a medical drama at the same time. Season 2 is filmed again in Australia, using historic locations like Callan Park in Sydney to ground the story’s world in real texture rather than just costume-drama gloss.
With strong critical reception and high audience scores for the first season, the new episodes arrive with solid expectations that this chapter will deepen the themes of reinvention, guilt, and second chances instead of simply repeating the original arc.
