Nominated for a UK Crime Thriller Award, the series follows Detectives Joseph Chandler, played by Rupert Penry Jones (Spooks, Silk, The Strain), and Ray Miles played by Phil Davis (Vera Drake, Bleak House). 
Andrew Billen said of Whitechapel in The Times “… is making Ripperologists of us all, as Jack’s ‘canonical’ murders are separated from the ones he actually committed. It is all in the worst possible taste and bloody good fun.”
