Homepage ► Whitechapel

The second series of Whitechapel will be showing on ITV.

Rupert Penry-Jones, Phil Davis and Steve Pemberton will reprise their roles as Chandler, Miles and Buchan, to solve a series of copycat murders.

Whitechapel II

Atmospheric and brooding, Whitechapel II will once more boldly draw on an iconic cult crime born out of the area. After Jack the Ripper came the gangster brutality of the Krays, and in Whitechapel II the paranoia of this era and the faded glamour of the former East End overlords will characterise the drama.

.It will be as sharp, intense and as visually distinctive as Whitechapel I with the gangster culture the Krays instilled never far away. Produced by Carnival Films, the new story will broadcast as three episodes.

Penry-Jones, Davis and Pemberton all return to their characters of Chandler, Miles and Buchan with pathos and black humour remaining key to Whitechapel II. Copycat murders, maiming and torture will trigger intense emotions and DI Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones) will be given an even greater run for his money than first time round. This time it is personal.

Production

Commissioned by ITV’s Director of Drama Commissioning, Laura Mackie, Whitechapel will be full of the history, texture and detail that gave the first series a distinctive personality. “Whitechapel II will be as audacious and as compelling as the first series strengthened by further character development and very real personal jeopardy. We’re delighted to be commissioning more episodes following the success of Whitechapel I,” said Laura.

The Executive Producer for Whitechapel II will be Sally Woodward Gentle who also took this role on the first series, and Ben Court and Caroline Ip return to write the scripts. Sally Woodward Gentle said today: ‘Once again the streets of Whitechapel yield an extraordinary story. We are delighted, if slightly scared, to be going back there again.’
