LONDON — The fifth season of crime drama “Ripper Street” will be its last, Amazon Prime has revealed. Amazon stepped in to save “Ripper Street” in early 2014, following outcry from fans when the show was cancelled by the BBC after two seasons.
Beside this, why did they cancel Ripper Street?
The show loosely based on the murders of Jack the Ripper in the late 1800s began, on BBC One in 2012 but was dropped after poor ratings. After online support from fans Amazon Prime bought the series and commissioned the Victorian drama for three more seasons.
Correspondingly, is Ripper Street coming back?
Deadline reported that Ripper Street was cancelled while the fifth season of the series was still being filmed in early 2016. Unfortunately, that means there won't be any more seasons of the show, because the show took a long time to make it from the Amazon U.K. to BBC America.
Ripper Street concludes tonight at 9pm on BBC Two. All five seasons are available to watch on Amazon Prime.
