The Ripper
He carved a trail of horror into the heart of the city.
Directed by Janet Meyers
Produced by Universal Television Entertainment, Mutual Film Company
A dark, historically-grounded thriller about the hunt for Jack the Ripper that balances procedural investigation with the atmospheric dread of a city gripped by serial murder.
It is 1888, and London is in the grip of one of the most gruesome and mysterious crime sprees in history. Under extreme pressure from the Royal family, the head of Scotland Yard assigns its top man to the grisly case.
