A larger synopsis for Ripper Street may be read below:

Haunted by the failure to catch London’s most evil killer, Jack the Ripper, Inspector Edmund Reid now heads up the notorious H Division – the toughest police district in the East End. Charged with keeping order in the blood-stained streets of Whitechapel, Reid and his men find themselves fighting to uphold justice and the rule of law; but always in the background lurks the fear of the Ripper – is he back for another reign of terror? Rich episodic storylines meld with the intrigue of a criminal underworld festering on the hard streets of Victorian London, following the battle of the men whose job it is to bring the law to the lawless.

Matt Lewis Talks Upcoming Projects in New Interview

In a new interview with ripitup.com.au, Matt Lewis discusses a bunch of his upcoming projects. The interview with the Australian website comes before his appearances at Supernova Pop Culture Expo later this month.

In a short quote on his upcoming film Me Before You and working with Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin he says, “It was just a really nice environment on set [with them], and the book that the script is based on is a lovely piece of literature.” Me Before You is based on the book of the same name by Jojo Moyes and has a release date of June 3rd 2016.

Matt also discusses filming for Series 2 of Happy Valley and Series 4 of Ripper Street which he has been filming simultaneously. Filming for Happy Valley finished recently and Ripper Street will continue filming in January after a holiday break.

“I’ve come back here [to London] for the moment – I’ve got this cold because it’s miserable here,” he says. “The last few days have been pretty intense. I can’t really say what I was doing without giving away too much of my character [in Happy Valley], but it was intense and I’m quite rundown.” It’s been fantastic [working on both shows], but it’s been quite heavy doing two jobs in two different countries.”

He can’t get away from the interview without a quick mention of Neville and Harry Potter and states: “I’ve done quite a few weirdly different things to Neville since then. I feel like in my career I’ve definitely moved on, but it’s still such a massive part of my life – it’s not something that you can easily forget,” he states. “It’s been the very foundation of the rest of my career, particularly amongst the fanbase. I’m very, very fortunate to have some incredibly fantastic fans. I’m under no illusion that the vast majority are fans of Harry Potter and that’s not a bad thing. I don’t mind at all.”
