Matthew Macfadyen: Ripper Street Set to Return to Dublin on April 29 16:10 : By Gearóid Gilmore (IFTN)

The second series of the Irish co-production ‘Ripper Street’ will begin shooting in Dublin later this month.

The hit TV series, which is aired by the BBC, will return to filming in the Clancy Barracks in Dublin later this month and is set to continue filming until August 31st.

The first series was set in London’s East End in Whitechapel in the year 1889; six months after the infamous Jack the Ripper murders. When more women are murdered on the streets of Whitechapel, Detective Inspector Edmund Reid (played by Matthew Macfadyen), Detective Sergeant Bennett Drake (Jerome Flynn), and US Army Captain Homer Jackson (Adam Rothenberg) begin to investigate the killings. Fears that Jack the Ripper has returned begin to surface in the disadvantaged district.

Matthew Macfadyen: Critic’s corner: What’s on TV tonight By Matthew Gilbert | BOSTON GLOBE STAFF

Ripper Street Saturday at 9 p.m., BBC America

I’ve enjoyed this series, which wraps for the season on Saturday night. “Ripper Street” is yet another TV crime procedural, but the primitive forensics and the Victorian setting, with its killing poverty and moral hypocrisies, make it stand out. The writers manage to turn each murder case into more than just a whodunit, with themes about the brutality of war, labor strikes, and psychiatry. And Matthew Macfadyen has been a formidable lead. The series has been renewed for a second season.
