Maia Mitchell has landed a new role! The actress is starring in the new Disney+ drama, The Artful Dodger, based on the characters created by author Charles Dickens.
Maia is joined in this new series by Thomas Brodie-Sangster and David Thewlis. Brodie-Sangster will be taking on the role of Jack Dawkins, aka “The Artful Dodger” while Thewlis will be playing Fagin and Maia as Lady Belle Fox. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “The Artful Dodger, which was first announced in May, is described as an international character-driven drama set in 1850s Australia, which gives a twist to the classic Charles Dickens character, Dodger. The eight-episode series finds Dodger living a double life as a surgeon who still can’t shake his predilection for crime.”
No release date has been announced as of yet. However, production is currently underway in Australia.
