Renewed: Ripper Street

Jack the Ripper drama Ripper Street was renewed this week by the BBC, which is good news for TEN.

“Quality and ambition run through Ripper Street, from Richard Warlow’s original scripts, the incredible cast and the captivating direction,” said BBC drama commissioning controller Ben Stephenson. “All combine to create a period series with a modern and gripping edge that will return for a second series in 2014.”

Ripper Street, created by Warlow, stars Matthew Macfadyen, Jerome Flynn and Adam Rothenberg as detectives working an East London neighborhood in the wake of the notorious Jack the Ripper murders.

It will air in Australia on TEN this year.
