Amazon UK has renewed the historical drama Ripper Street for fourth and fifth seasons. Season four is expected to stream in the UK later this year and season five will stream sometime next year. Filming will begin soon.
The episodes will be shown on BBC America here in the states but it’s unclear exactly when.
Executive producer Saul Venit of Lookout Point, said, “Keeping this series going for 37 episodes over five series is a hugely exciting achievement and is testament to the extraordinary creative results, as well as to the visionary teams at BBC Worldwide and Amazon as our core commercial partners.”
As you may recall, Amazon rescued Ripper Street and renewed it for a third season after the BBC cancelled the series. The third season of the series is currently airing in the United States. The eight episodes will finish airing on June 17th.
What do you think? Do you like the Ripper Street TV show? How long do you think the series should run?

one of the best shows . great acting and story line plesee continue
Excellent show, so glad it has been renewed. Looking forward to the new seasons.
This is an excellent show. Lots of action and the acting is top notch. Well worth watching from start to finish. I’ve watched 1-3 twice and season 4 once. Can’t wait to see season 5. Is it really the end???????
I enjoy this show, although now that Drake is gone, who knows how long it will run.
I agree with you, Tamara. I preferred Drake as second man to Inspector Reid, but I liked Drake the best and was saddened and sickened, with the way he died. I will probably watch the 5th series but could easily leave it ended at Drake’s death.
Superb drama!
Ripper Street is an Outstanding British Police Show, with wonderful
Historic sites, authentic costumes, and Dynamic Actors, that keep the viewers
on the edge of their seats. It is truly our favorite British Series. Interestingly,
the producers and critics always want to cancel something that the viewers
are so in favor of, and leave programs on TV for viewing that are not so
dynamic in Actors, and story lines. It seems they have an agenda and a
subliminal message that overrides the public opinion, that is more
important than the authentic creative programs the public craves.
This is one of my favorite shows, and far better than anything offered on network TV. I wish it could be rescued again for more seasons, but a 5th season would probably be a good ending since all the dark secrets of the past have made the lives going forward for all the main characters impossible. They would have to move to North America, or elsewhere, and hide forever. Not sure that story line would work very well. It’s been a lot of fun to be on this journey though.
I personally love ripper street. It’s in a class all by itself. You have to love the characters. I do. They are fresh. I wish there were more episodes or seasons. Atleast when they tell the story you can keep up. As far as a crime drama, I put it up there with my game of thrones as my fantasy, ripper street is my cop show and my older show.
I want to season 5!!!!
I absolutely love this show….. Love the time frame…. Alway was a history buff and England always holds a dear place….. Wonderful times I’ve had living in London and hope to come back there soon… Lol off topic I guess.. But the show is absolutely wonderful… I hope they continue more series
I love the series. I could watch for years!
Love this series, keeps me interested. Love the timeframe. Would love to see it go for a few more seasons , like 10
I love this show and would be happy if it never ended
Love this show. Let it run indefinitely.
I loved seasons 1-3. I hope season 4 is available on Netflix or Amazon this week. I would love for it to continue for many years. I would like for inspector Reid ro heal completely and return and of course the American would also need to continue on the show.
