Maia Mitchell, Thomas Brodie-Sangster's Chemistry in 'Artful Dodger' Surprisingly Absent
Maia Mitchell and Thomas Brodie-Sangster developed their chemistry over time while filming The Artful Dodger. Mitchell shared that they initially had zero chemistry but it changed once they started acting as their characters.
The show, a sequel to Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, follows Jack Dawkins (Brodie-Sangster) and Belle (Mitchell) in the 1850s. Season 2 premiered on February 10, focusing on the romance between Jack and Belle and introducing a love triangle with Inspector Henry Boxer (Luke Bracey).
Boxer brings a different dynamic to the love triangle, contrasting Jack's passionate nature with his own calm demeanor. Mitchell praised the character development and nuanced storytelling in the season, highlighting Belle's autonomy and decision-making.
Fans of steamy TV scenes have enjoyed memorable moments between favorite couples like Kate and Anthony from Bridgerton. The season ends on a hopeful note, with Mitchell expressing hope for a potential third season and praising the ease of slipping back into character.
The Artful Dodger's second season is currently available for streaming on Hulu.
