Rupert Penry-Jones, Phil Davis and Steve Pemberton have begun filming on the third series of ITV1's hit drama series Whitechapel.
The Carnival Films production will have a six-episode run and has been described by producer David Boulter as "bigger and bolder" than ever.
"Gruesome present day investigations summon the ghosts of the past, screaming and restless," said Boulter. "Chandler's team must decipher their relevance, for history can be unreliable: convincing and confusing in equal measure. These new Whitechapel stories are dark, compelling and full of surprises."
Executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle said: "I am delighted we are getting the chance to tell brand new Whitechapel stories but this time as a series. The East End of London is steeped in history, secrets and gore and we now have the opportunity to take Chandler, Miles and Buchan to places darker still. If you thought the Ripper and Krays were scary, just wait."
"Whitechapel is a striking and distinctive crime drama that has struck a real chord with the ITV1 audience," added ITV director of drama Laura Mackie. "The longer run will allow us to tell an even richer range of stories from the Whitechapel area."
Whitechapel was voted among Digital Spy's Top 25 shows of 2009 and 2010.
