The Artful Dodger Season 2 Trailer Arrives as Jack Dawkins Goes on the Run

Jack Dawkins is back, and according to Hulu, his life choices are about to catch up with him in spectacular fashion. The Artful Dodger season 2 trailer released by Hulu has officially arrived, giving fans their first real look at the next chapter of the breakout period drama and it’s clear that the stakes have gone from “mildly illegal” to “someone fetch the gallows.”

The trailer opens with an unmistakable sense of danger, positioning Jack firmly in the crosshairs of the law. Gone is the illusion that he can balance life as a gifted surgeon while dabbling in crime on the side. Season two’s footage leans hard into the consequences teased at the end of season one, with Jack facing capture, punishment, and the looming possibility of execution. The phrase “appointment with the noose” isn’t subtle and the trailer doesn’t try to be.

A major focus of The Artful Dodger season 2 trailer is the arrival of a determined new threat: Inspector Boxer. The character is framed as a relentless lawman with Jack squarely in his sights, setting up a classic cat-and-mouse dynamic. Several shots show Jack on the run, restrained, or narrowly escaping danger, reinforcing that his luck may finally be running out.

Lady Belle also features prominently throughout the trailer, with glimpses of her continuing medical work and complicated relationship with Jack. Their chemistry remains intact, but the footage suggests mounting tension as Jack’s past and present, refuses to stay hidden. Meanwhile, familiar faces like Fagin appear woven into the escalating chaos, hinting that old alliances may be tested under pressure.

Visually, the trailer maintains the show’s signature energy: quick cuts, sharp dialogue, surgical tools flashing as often as weapons, and a gritty colonial backdrop that feels anything but polite. Hulu’s preview makes it clear that season two isn’t slowing down, it’s doubling down.

With The Artful Dodger season 2 trailer released by Hulu, fans now have a clear picture of what’s ahead: danger closing in, relationships under strain, and Jack Dawkins once again attempting to charm his way out of a situation that looks increasingly uncharmable. Season two premieres February 10, and if this trailer is any indication, it’s going to be a wild, possibly very short ride for our favorite rogue surgeon.
