Actor Matthew Macfadyen, who plays Detective Inspector Edmund Reid, told PA: “It’s fantastic to begin shooting in Dublin again for the second series of Ripper Street – and to be reunited with much of the wonderful cast and crew from last year. Also to be reunited with my bowler hat – I’d missed it.”
He teased: “The show’s creator Richard Warlow has given us two wonderful, strange and unsettling opening episodes, teeming with the fierce and fragile life of Victorian Whitechapel.”
Series 1 regulars Jerome Flynn, Adam Rothenberg and Myanna Buring are also returning for Series 2, alongside Joseph Mawle (Game of Thrones) who joins the cast as corrupt Inspector Jebediah Shine.
