silver_sunBack in January the BBC announced that after 2 series they weren't going to make a 3rd series of Ripper Street, due to low ratings. (This was only relative - they'd set it up to fail placing it against 'I'm a celebrity on ITV and it still got more viewers than of a lot of other shows they kept. It's figures were similar to those got by the One Show and Holby City - so hardly terrible)
Well after an online petition and interest from LoveFilm Ripper Street is back :)

It will air on Amazon's Prime Instant Video (which what LoveFilm is now know as) the episode will also be show on the BBC a few months later. Amazon is also going to stream the first two series as well.
How long we'll wait for a new series is unknown, but as filming starts in May hopefully the answer is not too long - which is certainly better than the never that it was going to be just a couple of months ago.
