Hulu dropped the trailer for The Artful Dodger, its forthcoming Australia period dramedy, based on a character in Charles Dickens‘ classic novel Oliver Twist. The series will start streaming on November 29.
“Set in 1850s Australia, in the lively colony of Port Victory, Jack Dawkins is The Artful Dodger, whose fast, pickpocketing fingers have turned into the skilled hands of a surgeon,” reads the synopsis. “Dodger’s past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin, luring him back into a world of crime. A greater threat – to Dodger’s heart – is Lady Belle, the Governor’s daughter, determined to become the colony’s first female surgeon. From heists to life-and-death surgeries, to the harsh realities of the criminal world mingling with the middle ground and gentry.”
