Tiger Aspect Productions and co-producer Lookout Point have been commissioned by Danny Cohen, Controller BBC One and Ben Stephenson, Controller Drama Commissioning, to make 8-part drama series, Ripper Street for BBC One.

Created by writer Richard Warlow (Mistresses, Waking The Dead), Ripper Street is an extraordinary new 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.

Danny Cohen, Controller, BBC One, says: "Ripper Street is a gripping new drama for BBC One. Set against the backdrop of a fevered historical London, I believe it has the quality and intensity to be a hit with BBC One viewers."

Ripper Street will be executive produced for Tiger Aspect by Will Gould and Head of Drama Greg Brenman and for Lookout Point by Simon Vaughan (Parade's End, Titanic). Polly Hill will executive produce for the BBC. Shooting commences in spring 2012.

Greg Brenman says: "We are so excited about Ripper Street and believe that Richard Warlow is creating a period show that respects its moment in history whilst also achieving a thoroughly modern, entertaining and visceral piece of entertainment."

Simon Vaughan adds: "The Ripper case was the first ever mass-media man hunt and is known literally all over the world. We are producing a British drama with global ambitions and we are already having conversations with a number of US and international broadcasters who recognise the in built branding of the title."

Joe Gilgun has joined the cast of BBC One thriller Ripper Street.

The Misfits star told SFX that he has won a "guest lead part" in the period drama.

"I'm shooting in Dublin," Gilgun confirmed. "[It's] f**king so ace, I can't even tell you, I've grown a moustache and everything. It's epic, it's grown over my lip and I can curl it. I look like Charles Bronson after a famine."

The actor added that he is "bloody thrilled" to have won a role in the eight-part series, which stars Matthew Macfadyen.

"It's set in the time of Jack the Ripper," he said. "It's a guest lead part so I'm bloody thrilled with it. It's just such a bloody great job."

Set in 1899 London, Ripper Street will focus on H Division, the notorious police precinct charged with keeping order in Whitechapel.

Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones), Adam Rothenberg (Alcatraz) and MyAnna Buring (Twilight) will also star in the project, written by Mistresses scribe Richard Warlow.

Shooting on Ripper Street is expected to conclude in July. The series will air on BBC One in the UK and on BBC America in the US.

Ep 1/8

Sunday 30 December
9.00-10.00pm
BBC ONE

April 1889 - six months since the last Jack the Ripper killing. East London is emerging into a fragile peace, hopeful that this killer’s reign of terror might at last have run its course. Nowhere is this truer than in the corridors of H Division, the police precinct charged with keeping order in the chaos of Whitechapel. Its men hunted this maniac - and failed to find him.
Ripper Street is their story. A police procedural set in the teeming streets of the East End as it moves into the last decade of the 19th century. H Division was responsible for policing a relatively small area of just 1¼ square miles, yet into that space were packed some 67,000 people: a seething, bustling mass of the poor and dispossessed.

Between the factories, rookeries, chop shops and pubs that mark out this maelstrom moves Detective Inspector Edmund Reid (Matthew Macfadyen) – a forward thinking detective haunted by a tragic past mistake. Accompanied by the ever loyal local brawn of Detective Sergeant Bennett Drake (Jerome Flynn) and the mercurial brilliance of the US Army surgeon and one-time Pinkerton detective, Captain Homer Jackson (Adam Rothenberg), Reid seeks to bring justice to a world that is forever on the brink of mayhem.

Ripper Street is a fictionalised trek into the heart of a London borough living in the blood soaked aftermath of that forever anonymous killer. It is an investigative procedural about dedicated policemen for whom life – and crime – go on.

In the first episode of Ripper Street, a young woman is found brutally murdered, the hallmark signs of the Ripper upon her. One time H Division boss, Chief Inspector Frederick Abberline, believes it Jack’s return, but Reid – the precinct’s new master – suspects a different evil at work.

Ernest Manby, a 60-year-old toy maker, is beaten to death for a mysterious brass box and the coins in his pocket.
The Whitechapel Vigilance Committee presents a culprit in the form of 14-year-old Thomas Gower, who refuses to deny the charge. Reid – his conscience challenged by a radical lawyer called Eagles and orphanage Governess Deborah Goren – tests the security of the case.

Meanwhile, Jackson’s drinking and gambling have led to the loss of the pendant that ties him to his American past – a past that he and Long Susan fear will now be exposed. Reid and Drake find themselves besieged at Miss Goren’s orphanage by the rest of Gower’s vicious child gang and their brutal master, Carmichael.

H Division and the independent City of London force are thrown together when the panic surrounding a sudden cholera outbreak leads them to conclude wilful contamination is afoot in both boroughs.
Inspector Sydney Ressler (Patrick Baladi) joins Reid’s team as they scour Whitechapel for clues and connections. Meanwhile, Emily Reid (Amanda Hale) seeks patronage for her charity efforts, unaware of the resistance she will meet. As Jackson’s lab fills with bodies, and with no clear correlation between the victims to be found, the team work against the clock to find some underlying pattern amidst the rising tide of sickness and death.

While Jackson works to trace the thieves’ hardware, Drake is confronted with a spectre from his past in the form of his one time Colonel Madoc Faulkner (Iain Glen), returned to London to seek redress for the unjust treatment of the Empire’s soldiers.

As the dock strike of August ’89 takes grip of the city, the killing of a Jewish anarchist leads Reid and the team into the merciless chicanery of the British government’s fight against international terrorism.
The order from Reid’s superiors is to drop the case, but he can smell something afoot, particularly when Deborah Goren appears at the station vouching for the dead man’s character. Jackson is sent undercover at the escalating Dock Strikes, while Drake is on the other side, policing against what he considers justified protest. As Reid digs deeper, he discovers signs of Special Branch and Russian agitators pulling strings on his own manor – while the approaching anniversary of a great tragedy in his life tips his personal life into crisis.
