Watch an exclusive sneak peek from the series opener of Whitechapel, the newest addition to BBC America’s Dramaville, before the premiere *** Wednesday, Oct 26 at 10/9c. ***
Here, Detective Inspector Joseph Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones, MI-5, Cambridge Spies) and Detective Sargeant Miles (Phil Davis, Sherlock, Bleak House) first meet Edward Buchan (Steve Bemperton, The League of Gentlemen, Viva Blackpool), a renowned Ripper-ologist, in the investigation of what seems like an open-and-shut case, the killing of a woman in the Whitechapel neighborhood of East London.
However, when Buchan quickly points out the similarities between the present-day murder and the Jack the Ripper killings of 1888, the race is on to catch the copycat killer before he strikes again. In the words of Buchan: “You should be grateful, I’m giving you a head start.”
Don’t miss the series the Daily Telegraph called “…fast-paced and tense with no shortage of twists.”
