Ripper Street

The Guardian has an article that allows us to catch up to the intervening events from Series 2 to Series 3.

It’s a hell of a series and all involved have thrown themselves into it heart and soul, clearly delighted to have a chance to revisit these characters and take them to new heights. Ripper Street never was just another crime drama about murdered women – I’m sure the title put a lot of viewers off tuning in initially – but with this third series, Warlow and co have unleashed something truly ambitious, gutsy and full of imaginative flourishes. With Amazon announcing a commission for a further two series recently, it’s going to be hanging around for a while. It’s great to have it back.

Ripper Street returns to BBC on 31 July in the UK

Series 3 of Ripper Street, which was originally axed by BBC and revived by its fans and Amazon, will finally begin airing in the UK on Friday 31, July at 9 pm according to Radio Times.

Also, to make it even more absurd that BBC cancelled Ripper Street, BBC Worldwide announced that it posted record returns for BBC because of shows like Ripper Street!

Premium content investment delivered a rich mix of titles, including drama - which accounted for almost half of total investment in the year. Top-selling titles were Doctor Who, Top Gear, Orphan Black, Life Story, The Musketeers, Atlantis, Call the Midwife, Ripper Street, Sherlock and The Honourable Woman.
