ITV drama Trigger Point 2 will start on Sunday 28th January at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

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.

The series, which focuses on the Expo officers who risk their lives daily on ‘the long walk’ towards danger, has been lauded by both critics and audiences alike. To date, more than 11 million viewers have watched the first episode of the first series, and the series is currently averaging 9.24 million viewers for episodes 1-4 as the audience enjoys the series on ITV, ITV Hub, and BritBox.

Trigger Point was commissioned for ITV by Polly Hill, 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. I can’t wait to see where series two takes Lana and her team.”

Jed Mercurio commented: “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.”

The new six-part series has been written by Simon Ashdown (Our House, EastEnders), Amanda Duke (Treason), and Daniel Brierley. It was created by Daniel Brierley. In episode one, Lana is just back from secondment training bomb disposal teams but has not returned to active duty. She is giving a routine talk to security officers from major financial institutions about the issues surrounding bomb-centered terrorism when there is a bomb attack in the heart of the city. Lana is closest to the incident, but is she ready to take it on?

Look out for Vicky and cast-members doing promo in the next couple of weeks and get ready to watch on ITV1 and ITVX.
