'Ripper Street': BBC drama casts 'Game of Thrones', 'Twilight' stars
New BBC drama Ripper Street has begun filming in Dublin.
An eight-part thriller, the show - starring Matthew Macfadyen - will focus on the aftermath of the Jack The Ripper murders.
Set in 1899 London, it will focus on H Division, the notorious police precinct charged with keeping order in Whitechapel.
Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones), Adam Rothenberg (Alcatraz), MyAnna Buring (Twilight) and David Dawson (Luther) will star opposite Macfadyen, reports Deadline.
BBC America will co-produce the project, written by Mistresses scribe Richard Warlow.
Shooting on Ripper Street is expected to conclude in July. The series will air on BBC One in the UK and on BBC America in the US.
