The BBC has ordered an 8-part (episode) crime drama titled Ripper Street set in the East End of London in 1889. The action is centered on the police precinct H Division, which is responsible for maintaining order in the area following the "Ripper" murders.
"The Ripper case was the first ever mass-media man hunt and is known literally all over the world," says Simon Vaughan, one of the series producers. "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."
We take that last comment to mean that at the very least we should expect to see it on BBC America at some point.
