Trigger Point is set to make a comeback on ITV but viewers might have a bit of wait before they get the third series.

Vicky McClure, famed for her role as Kate Fleming in Line Of Duty, is back on screens as bomb disposal expert Lana Washington in the acclaimed ITV series Trigger Point. With two seasons under its belt, an exciting announcement has revealed the show is back for a third series - but there may be some time before it ends up on our screens.

Season one opened with the shocking death of Lana's comrade Joel Nutkins, and what followed was a plethora of challenges and emotional trials for Lana as she contends with imminent danger from terrorist factions terrorising London.

Taking centre stage, Vicky not only leads the cast as Lana Washington but also serves as an executive producer. The upcoming season promises the return of familiar faces, including Eric Shango, Nabil Elouahabi, Natalie Simpson, and Maanuv Thiara.

In this fresh outing, Lana - along with her team - fights a new sinister figure orchestrating bomb attacks for vengeance. With lives in the balance, will the Bomb Disposal Squad be able to use their skills swiftly enough to thwart the threats?

However, fans will have a wait to find out as production for the new instalment isn't slated until 2025, leaving the broadcast schedule hanging in uncertainty for now.

Vicky shared: "Trigger Point is back! We're all so excited to get going. Having had such a positive response to the previous two series, we want to make the next series even more exciting, keep everyone on the edge of their seats whilst getting to know even more about the brilliant characters in the show. Lana is such a complex character to play, it's a joy for an actor to play a role with as many layers as Lana."

Series creator Jed Mercurio added: "Thank you to all the Trigger Point viewers who have made the series such a success. Thanks to our fantastic crew and brilliant cast led by the amazing Vicky McClure. We're thrilled ITV, together with All3Media International, have commissioned a third season of twists, turns, bangs and blasts."

ITV's Head of Drama Polly Hill shared: "I am delighted that Trigger Point will be returning for a third series and Vicky McClure will be reprising her role as Lana Washington. The whole cast are amazing in this series and HTM are a great team to work with. There's going to be lots more twists and turns and of course explosions in this third series, viewers are going to love it!"
