Meet Inspector Edmund Reid, played by MATTHEW MACFADYEN, in BBC America’s new gritty crime drama RIPPER STREET
*** Premieres Saturday Jan 19 at 9/8c *** only on BBC America.
Hear directly from MACFADYEN (Anna Karenina, Pride and Prejudice) about playing this “very dedicated, forward-thinking policeman”: “I think he’ll try anything to get the result.”
The boss of H Division, Inspector Edmund Reid was one of the lead detectives on the Jack the Ripper investigation. When the hunt for the killer was given up in early 1889, Reid stayed exactly where he had been for the last two years, policing the streets that would always remind him of his failure.
History’s most notorious serial killer Jack the Ripper tore through London. Now, the detectives who were on the case have to pick up the pieces. But can anyone keep order in the blood-stained London Streets?
