The sequel to Whitechapel, which was the most-watched new drama series of 2009, was recently commissioned and is planned to air this autumn.
Rupert Penry-Jones, Phil Davis and Steve Pemberton reprise their starring roles in the three-part series, produced by Carnival Films. The story continues to centre around the iconic cult of Jack the Ripper in the East End of London.
Series executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle said: "Whitechapel II will be as sharp, intense and as visually distinctive as the first series with the gangster culture of the Krays never far away. Once again the streets of Whitechapel yield an extraordinary story and we are delighted, if slightly scared, to be going back there again."
Director of drama Laura Mackie added: "Whitechapel II will be as audacious and as compelling as the first series strengthened by further character development and very real personal jeopardy."
