Plot Synopsis

For five years between 1975 to 1980, the Yorkshire Ripper murders cast a dark shadow over the lives of women in the North of England. It was a time of national hysteria -- 13 women were dead and the police seemed incapable of catching the killer. No one felt safe -- and every man was a suspect. Chronicling the twists and turns of the largest police manhunt in British police history, this four-part documentary series re-examines the crimes within the context of England in the late 1970s: a time of radical change, de-industrialisation, poverty, masculinity and misogyny -- all of which contributed to Peter Sutcliffe (aka the Yorkshire Ripper) evading capture for so long. Netflix released all four episodes of THE RIPPER on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT.
