Slasher season 5 preview
Billed as the most gruesome season of Slasher yet, Ripper transports us back in time to late 19th century Toronto, where a hooded figure known only as "The Widow" is picking off the city's elites with toe-curling precision.
Keen-eyed detective Kenneth Rijkers (Gabriel Darku) has no idea what he's let himself in for when he's called to investigate the grisly death of one of Toronto's power brokers.
Billed as the most gruesome season of Slasher yet, Ripper transports us back in time to late 19th century Toronto.
If the twisted sadist prowling the dark streets and candlelit corridors wasn't enough of a concern, the overbearing presence of Basil Garvey (Eric McCormack), the tycoon who runs the town and owns Superintendent Isaac Kashtinsky (Daniel Kash) isn't exactly aiding the investigation. That Garvey stands to be The Widow's top prize, the head above the fireplace, is just one further complication.
What could he be so desperate to cover up that he'd be willing to scupper the investigation – and risk the very skin off his own back – for?
