‘Ripper Street’, an eight-part series for the BBC based on the Jack The Ripper murders, has begun filming in various locations around Dublin.
Created by Richard Warlow (Waking the Dead) and starring Matthew Macfadyen (Pride and Prejudice, Frost/Nixon), Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones) and Adam Rothenberg (House), ‘Ripper Street’ is currently using a Dublin army barracks and the area in and around Dublin Castle to re-create London's East End in 1889.
Filming began on March 12 and is scheduled to run for 19 weeks in total. A wide and varied Irish crew have been employed to work on the series with production designer Mark Geraghty (In America, Death Of A Superhero, Leap Year) among the leading local crew members.
Irish production company Element Pictures are co-producing the series with Tiger Aspect Productions and Lookout Point. BBC America also joined the production last week and plan to launch ‘Ripper Street’ in America as part of their Dramaville series this Autumn.
With a budget of €8million, the series is also being made with the participation of the Irish Film Board. BBC Worldwide is distributing the series globally.
