Welcome back to the podcast Drea Mayer in today's conversation about the Hulu TV show "The Artful Dodger," which just announced a second season is coming and will start filming in Australia in 2025! (If only Stephanie and Drea knew about that before this episode was filmed; spoiler alert, they're excited!)
"The Artful Dodger" takes place about 15 years after Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist (but you don't need to know the novel to appreciate this show). It follows Jack Dawkins aka the Artful Dodger (played by Thomas Brodie Sangster) in the 1850s in Australia as he works as a surgeon. He is reunited with Fagan (David Thewlis) who shows up as a prisoner while also navigating a relationship with Lady Belle (Maia Mitchell), the mayor's daughter who wants a career in medicine. Between gore, humor, and romance, this show seems to have it all! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good time.
For more with Drea, listen back to our "All Creatures Great & Small" episode from earlier this year (Episode 9).
Thank you for your patience during the Zoom Glitches :)
Featured Music: "The Joker & the Thief" by Wolfmother
