A 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.
Returning to a dark secret they all share and to a Whitechapel terrorised by an all too familiar horror, Series Five sees the show’s heroes take on a serial killer with subhuman desires, but a superhuman ability to avoid being apprehended.
