Filming has started on the fourth season of Ripper Street in Dublin.

Resurrected by Amazon last year after it was axed by BBC One, the period crime drama was recommissioned for two new seasons in May.

Matthew MacFadyen, Jerome Flynn and Adam Rothenberg will all be back in Season 4, alongside MyAnna Buring and Charlene McKenna.

Lucy Cohu and Derek Riddell will also be reprising their roles from Season 1.

Ripper Street creator Richard Warlow commented: “From our new studio set in Ireland, it has been a delight to watch this cast reunite and grow. As these new characters’ lives take shape on the page it is a daily inspiration to know that they will be brought to life by the most magnificent troupe of actors Ripper Street has yet assembled.”

Jay Marine, Vice President Amazon Instant Video EU added: “Ripper Street is a sterling example of British drama at its best. The show is already a huge global hit and with the Amazon cut giving creative freedom on the episode length and the addition of even more world class talent, we can’t wait to see what Season 4 has in store.”

Season 3 is currently airing on Friday nights on BBC One.
