It sounds like the Whitechapel TV show won’t be back for a fifth season. Lead actor Rupert Penry-Jones, who plays DI Joseph Chandler, broke the news via his Twitter account: “Sorry to be the bearer of bad news everyone but ITV don’t want any more Whitechapel. That’s all folks x.”
A detective drama, Whitechapel airs on BBC America here in the states but the cable channel has yet to announce when or if they will air the fourth season of six episodes. That batch finished airing in the UK on October 9th.
What do you think? Have you watched the Whitechapel TV series? Should BBC America run the final season?
Sadly loyal viewers are repaid their loyalty by yet another unexpected cancelling of a show with no real closure provided.
I loved White-chapel..I started off with this show 3 years ago, and revisted just this last week. Actors, story, etc.. most excellent.
Been watching this is the USA on Hulu. Surely you can’t just stop this series without giving us closure w/the villains! Really loved the show even if it did spook me out from time to time. (Am shocked how good Phil Davis looks after seeing him on Poldark!
I love this series, it was just the right amount of suspense and the character development has been terrific! Love the way the members of the team interact, and the story lines though fantastic, really draw one in. Please just an abbreviated season to give the characters and us closure?
We loved it. My husband and I watched every show of every season. It was awesome
What?? Just finished the season on amazon. How will I get my Rupert Penry-Jones “no shirt” fix?
We loved Whitechapel and would like to see it resume.
please continue the Whitechapel series. It is one of the best offerings on BBC.
please do a season 5. this show is awesome.
Please do a Season 5 to wrap it all up: the malevolent old woman, what is the real source of DI Chandler’s OCD, etc. It’s an unusual show with a great cast.
Needs to be a Season 5.
Complete it.
Brilliant show.
Needs to be Season 5.
Brilliant show.
I just recently found Whitechappel on Amazon prime. I am from the United States and I don’t see anything like that show here! It was so refreshing to find a series with such talented actors, intriguing story line, humor, and genuine caring between the characters. The idea of the senior woman spreading evil by exploiting vulnerabilities and causing self-doubt was brilliant. They didn’t have to rely on outrageous car chases, and sex scenes. I am beyond disappointed this show had been canceled. If there was any way to ever bring it back I would be estatic.
This is a great show and deserves a season 5. The cancelation seemed arbitrary.
