Kyle Meredith with... Maia Mitchell & Susie Porter

Maia Mitchell & Susie Porter on #TheArtfulDodger Season 2, Bigger Stakes, and That Bellybutton Scene #MaiaMitchell and #SusiePorter join Kyle Meredith to talk about Season 2 of The Artful Dodger, the Hulu and Disney+ series that finds Lady Bell and Lady Jane in much heavier territory. Mitchell discusses Belle’s six-month offscreen transformation — surviving surgery, fighting to save Jack from the noose, and losing some of her innocence along the way — while Porter shares what it’s like stepping back into Lady Jane’s privileged but evolving perspective, especially as the show tackles poverty, sexism, and class in 1850s Australia. They also get into the ultra-realistic medical scenes (complete with prosthetic torsos and live “artery” blood pumps), including the now-infamous belly button moment that Mitchell calls the worst thing the show has ever made her do.
