Created by Richard Warlow
On BBC One, Prime Video
A Victorian crime drama set in the shadow of Jack the Ripper, where detectives navigate trauma and moral ambiguity in a fractured East End community.
A drama set in the East End of London in 1889, during the aftermath of the "Ripper" murders. The action centres around the notorious H Division – the police precinct from hell – which is charged with keeping order in the chaotic streets of Whitechapel. Ripper Street explores the lives of characters trying to recover from the Ripper's legacy, from crimes that have not only irretrievably altered their lives, but the very fabric of their city. At the drama's heart our detectives try to bring a little light into the dark world they inhabit.
