Get ready for some explosive news, because ITV has commissioned Trigger Point season 4 — months before the third series has even hit our screens!
The announcement shows how much faith channel bosses have in the thriller, which follows bomb disposal officer — or "Expo" — Lana Washington (Vicky McClure) as she battles various terrorist attacks in London.
Trigger Point has been one of ITV's most successful shows of the last decade, with the second series of the show produced by Jed Mercurio's HTM Television attracting 8.1m viewers per episode.
“We’re all buzzing ITV have such faith in this series to commission a fourth before the third has even aired," said Vicky McClure in an official statement. "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 first series was written by Dan Brierley, but he's increasingly taken a back seat in recent years, with the fourth instalment due to be penned by Bloodlands writer Chris Brandon.
