Great news for fans of the hit ITV drama Trigger Point – the show has been renewed for a highly anticipated third series. After its last episode aired in January, viewers were left on edge, wondering about the show's future. But now, with over 30 million streams and ranking as the second most-watched drama on ITV1 in 2024, the decision to continue the series was a no-brainer for the network.
The return of Trigger Point has been met with excitement and celebration from many, including fans like Roger Genkins who couldn't contain his enthusiasm, typing "BRILLIANT. LOVE THIS SHOW." Others expressed their eagerness, unable to wait for the new episodes, although they may have to as filming has yet to begin.
However, not everyone is thrilled about the show's return. Trigger Point has been a divisive series, receiving a mediocre 51% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes and harsh reviews criticizing the plot as "unbelievable" and "frustrating." Some viewers complained about the unrealistic portrayal of bomb disposal experts, such as real-life expert Lucy Lewis who was disappointed with the inaccuracies.
But for those eagerly awaiting the new season, the wait won't be too long. Trigger Point is set to return to production in 2025, with filming taking place in London. The series follows a team of bomb disposal officers, led by operative Lana Washington, as they face the constant threat of explosive devices and terrorism in the UK capital.
The next season will see the return of familiar faces such as Eric Shango, Nabil Elouahabi, Natalie Simpson, and Maanuv Thiara, as they tackle a new challenge. After surviving a terrorist kidnapping, Lana must quickly get back to work with her team. Their latest case involves a bomb threat, which soon becomes a complex and sinister vendetta. With the help of the Police Counterterrorism Unit, they race against time to stop the bomber before they strike again.
Executive producer Jed Mercurio, known for his work on hit shows like Breathtaking and Line of Duty, expressed his gratitude to the fans for making Trigger Point a success. He promised viewers an exciting ride with "twists, turns, bangs, and blasts" as they embark on another explosive season.
Lead actress Vicky McClure, who plays Lana, also shared her excitement for the new season, calling it a joyous experience. She revealed that the upcoming episodes would delve deeper into the characters, making for an even more thrilling and engaging season.
Trigger Point series one and two are available to watch on ITVX, so fans can catch up or relive the excitement while waiting for the new season.
