Amazon gives Ripper Street two new seasons

‘Ripper Street’ the series that you could almost call the comeback series is coming back. And not for one season, but Amazon Instant Video has decided to renew ‘Ripper Street’ for two seasons. Good news for all fans of this Victorian series. Amazon has confirmed the news.

Richard Warlow, ‘Ripper Street’ creator and writer, said: “It is a great privilege to be asked to continue this journey through Victorian Whitechapel. I had always hoped that Ripper Street would live to follow the world of ‘H’ Division right through to the end of the Victorian age itself; so with many great thanks to Amazon, and all those viewers who have taken Ripper Street to their hearts, it’s a delight to have now been given that very opportunity.”

Actor Matthew Macfadyen added: “I’m delighted to be embarking on another dose of Ripper Street – blood and guts, pocket watches and Victorian head-gear, wonderfully dark, moving and mysterious story lines from Mr Richard Warlow. Thanks Amazon.”

When production will begin or when the fourth and fifth season will be broadcast has not been announced yet. What we can assume is that the two seasons will at least get eight episodes each, just like the previous three seasons.

Are you happy that there will be at least two more seasons of Ripper Street?
