BBC's Ripper Street to return as Amazon gets first broadcast rights
Quote:
Period crime drama Ripper Street, axed by the BBC, will be returning for a third series on Amazon's video-on-demand service.
Amazon confirmed on Wednesday that Filming on the third series will begin in May and be exclusive to subscribers to Prime Instant Video, formerly its LoveFilm VoD service, but will be aired a few months later on BBC1.
As part of the deal the first series will be available immediately to Prime Instant Video subscribers, soon to be followed by the second series.
