Vicky McClure returns for more Trigger Point with ITV

ITV has recommissioned a fourth series of Trigger Point, starring Vicky McClure and produced by Jed Mercurio’s HTM Television…

The announcement comes as filming concludes on the third series, which has been in production across London since January. Series three of Trigger Point will air in the autumn schedule this year on ITV1 and STV and be available for streaming on ITX and STV Player, with series four coming to screens in 2026.

Series three also received a special honour in March when Her Majesty Queen Camilla visited the Trigger Point set and met with the team to mark the start of ITV’s 70th year celebrations and following the success of the series.

ITV’s Director of Drama, Polly Hill:

“Trigger Point is one of ITV’s most-watched dramas of last year after Mr Bates vs The Post Office so I’m delighted that this thrilling series is returning for a fourth series. I know audiences will be once again on the edge of their seat as Lana and the team take us on another thrilling ride to keep the capital safe.”

The drama follows a team of bomb disposal officers, known as EXPOs, as they dedicate themselves to keeping the capital safe from explosive devices and terrorist threats. Leading actress Vicky McClure, who plays Expo Lana Washington, will film series four across the summer months.

Vicky McClure: 

“We’re all buzzing ITV have such faith in this series to commission a fourth before the third has even aired. I love working with the team, we have a great time making the show and I cannot wait to continue Lana’s journey on Trigger Point.” 

The series is in association with All3Media International, the latest episodes to have aired – series two – averaged 8.1million viewers and was streamed 30million times on ITVX. The forthcoming production is written by Chris Brandon (Bloodlands) and will be directed by Jennie Darnell (Payback, Line of Duty) and Nirpal Bhogal (DI Ray, Grace) with series producer Kristian Dench (The Capture, Red Eye) and block producer Kingsley Hoskins (The Road Trip, The Flatshare).
