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?
Loved the series binges watched all four seasons this week. Sad there will not be more:(
There should at least be one more season to wrap up the story. I would love to see this superb show continue but if not, at least a closure.
Whitechapel is the best serie I have ever seen. Here in Holland the last serie I have seen was season 3 and I hope season 4 followes soon. I heard that there isn’t coming a season 5. Why not? a lot of Dutch fans are very sad, I am sure of that. Please continue this very good serie. Thank you
I’m very sorry but you have to make another season. I insist. In fact I demand it. You can’t tease us with such a brilliant story and then just stop. So get to work please and make 2017 the year of season five. NOW !!
I just started watching it on Amazon and so disapointed there is no season 5. Wish it would start again.
Yes, of course, the last season should be aired. I wish someone else would pick it up and continue on. I will miss it.
Very sorry to hear that there will be no more Whitechapel. It is such an incredibly well done series. The acting, the writing, and just the right amount of darkness! Superb!!! Absolutely, air the last season….why would you not?
I loved this show, very sorry that there will be no more seasons. I am sure there could be a cooking show ITV could cancel instead!!!!
Great show. Very annoyed, no more seasons. Hopefully Netflix will save it!
It was a great show….. sorry it won’t be back….
Sorry to see the series end would like to stay on tv.
I very much enjoy the show, and it’s actors. I would certainly want to see another season.
Why do TV channels do this to us? There are several excellent shows that have been on TV and then they just stop. We pay enough to watch with SKY Charges and TV licence, then nothing. How about giving something back to the fans instead of leaving them high and dry!!
More the pity when wonderful shows, with complex plots that require superior acting, are replaced by mindless rubbish that a fool can figure the plot in the first 10 minutes. We do pay dear for programing. Please keep great entertainment like Whitechapel!
This is such a great show. Well written, well acted. Every episode keeps us guessing. NOOOOOOOO!
I ‘stumbled’ onto BBC/UK programming on America PBS about 1 ½ years ago. It is so head and shoulders better than 99% of US TV. About the only US programming I watch anymore is my sports team when televised. One of the first shows I saw was ‘Whitechapel’ which I found intoxicatingly compelling. That lead me to thirst for almost anything UK/Aussie. I couldn’t believe that one day Whitecastle was no more. Bugger! I really miss that series. I will really miss Inspector Lewis as well, as that has just concluded. I can watch any of these repeatedly and it… Read more »
