Whitechapel starring Rupert Penry-Jones, Phil Davis and Steve Pemberton will be returning for a second series to ITV1.
Atmospheric and brooding, Whitechapel II will once more boldly draw on an iconic cult crime born out of the area. After Jack the Ripper came the gangster brutality of the Krays, and in Whitechapel II the paranoia of this era and the faded glamour of the former East End overlords will characterise the drama. It will be as sharp, intense and as visually distinctive as Whitechapel I with the gangster culture the Krays instilled never far away.
Penry-Jones, Davis and Pemberton all return to their characters of Chandler, Miles and Buchan with pathos and black humour remaining key to Whitechapel II. The crimes will trigger intense emotions and DI Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones) will be given an even greater run for his money than first time round. This time it is personal.
