Trigger Point will return for a second series on ITV

TRIGGER POINT viewers were left disappointed following the final episode of the ITV series, with many branding the ending as ‘predictable’.

MarkMeets can confirm that the show will return in 2023, following the climactic finale of the first series on last night.

Both critics and spectators have praised the series, which concentrates on the Expo cops who risk their lives every day on ‘the long walk’ towards danger.

Vicky McClure will reprise her role as bomb disposal operative ‘Expo’, Lana Washington, for the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad in the new six part series.

Trigger Point was written by screenwriting newcomer Daniel Brierley and produced by Jed Mercurio’s HTM Television.

ITV’s Head of Drama Polly Hill commented: “I am so delighted to see Trigger Point return. Vicky is stunning as Lana and it’s brilliantly produced by Jed and HTM, but I also want to congratulate Daniel for his scripts.

“To have held the audience in a state of tension for 6 hours so brilliantly, you can’t believe it’s his first show.

“I can’t wait to see where series two takes Lana and her team.”
“Everyone at HTM Television is thrilled by the success of Trigger Point.

“Thanks to all our brilliant cast and crew and especially to the viewers who watched in such large numbers.

“We’ve received unswerving support from ITV throughout the production and we are delighted to have been commissioned for a second series.”

Writer Daniel Brierley added: “I’m honoured and excited to be given the chance to continue Lana’s story. I feel there’s many more twists and turns in her future.

“It’s been thrilling to see how the public have responded to our show and I can’t wait to see what they will make of the next instalment!”
