Louise Brealey has joined the cast of Ripper Street.
The actress - best known for playing Molly Hooper in Sherlock - will play a female physician in the Amazon Prime drama.
"I'm playing one of the first women doctors," the actress told Radio Times. "I'm really excited because I did history at university and I love a bit of research.
"Elizabeth Garrett Anderson blazed the trail in the 1870s and in the intervening decade or so a few extremely intrepid and unusual women started learning to be doctors themselves."
Brealey's character Dr Amelia Frayn will run the Obsidian Clinic in Whitechapel.
She revealed: "I'm dressed very soberly and the other girls are all so ravishing. I'm like a little Jenny Wren. Literally, where are my pretty feathers?!"
The Victorian detective drama was axed by the BBC after two series, but was picked up by on-demand service Amazon Prime Instant Video.
