Entertainment News Comments Off on BBC Orders Second Series of Ripper Street

by C.S. Kane:

The BBC have confirmed that a further eight episodes of Victorian crime drama Ripper Street will be aired in 2014.

Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning has said:

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

Furthermore, the continued partnership with BBC America has proved to be a great success. Simon Vaughan, Lookout Point has stated:

“Partnering with BBC America was always our ideal scenario and it has proven to be a wonderful decision. They have given the series an amazing launch in America and we are delighted to be moving into series two together.”

So with a tip of the bowler hat it seems a heartfelt congratulations is in order for the team and in particular writer Richard Warlow who has expressed his excitement in the following statement:

“I am enormously grateful to have been given the opportunity to return to ‘H’ Division once more and will be working tirelessly to ensure that those who have joined us each week will find ever more compelling crime-fighting thrills down on Ripper Street the second time around. The series will move forward into the 1890s: the death rattle of a century coming to a close, the labour pains of a modern world on the rise. It is this sense of climax and calamity that, week by week, our heroes will confront with conviction and heroism.”
