HBO Max is developing an animated comedy series about Jack the Ripper, with a two-season order granted for the project. The show, titled “Merrick & Treves,” is created by the team behind “Archer.”
The series blends a Victorian-era historical premise with science-fiction time travel. According to coverage, it follows a group of characters who use time-travel to confront and stop the infamous killer. Sources describe it as a mashup of comedy with a period setting and a sci-fi mechanism driving the plot. Both outlets emphasize the same core details: HBO Max’s involvement, the “Archer” connection, the “Jack the Ripper” subject, and the two-season commitment.
