Since 2022, Trigger Point has captivated ITV viewers with its thrilling narrative centred around a bomb-disposal team led by Lana Washington (portrayed by Vicky McClure).

Last year, the second series was the second most-watched drama on ITV1, boasting an average of 8.1 million viewers and 30 million streams on ITVX.

Now, fans of the show are in for a treat as six more episodes are set to air, with series three kicking off on October 26.

The expo team uncovers a sinister vendetta where one individual is targeting others for revenge.

Earlier this month, audiences were given a sneak peek of what's to come in series three when ITV released a teaser trailer, showcasing Lana and her team in high-stakes action.

Ahead of the new series, actress Vicky McClure shared some insights with press including Reach Plc, hinting at some nail-biting scenes for viewers, reports the Mirror.

When asked about what viewers can anticipate for Lana and the team in the upcoming series, the actress revealed: "You can expect your Sunday nights now to be filled with utter-triggerverse gold!

"It's brilliant, we've got some incredible new actors in the show as well which I think you're going to really enjoy their performances.

"The team is back, we're more connected than ever, the explosive moments are coming thick and fast. You'll see me running a lot, which is rare.

"I just know that people are going to go, 'wow'. I mean, even from the trailer that we've put out. I'm really happy to brag about it, which is a rarity.

"But, I feel like everyone has worked so hard and done such an amazing job, I want to shout about it and go, 'Yeah, I'm really proud of it, I'm really proud of what everyone has done.' I think we've made a banging show, so enjoy."

Discussing the nine-month filming schedule for this series, Vicky revealed that the entire team understood the scale of the challenge ahead.

The actress disclosed that during conversations with producers, her sole request was for a positive working environment on set.

"I mean, I was so emotional on the last day last week because everybody came together. Usually, quite understandably, there are departments.

"That department sticks to that department, and that department sticks with that department; we just became one big department. Cameras were helping costume and facilities are sorting out stuff with caterers.

"It was just one of those moments where everything gelled, everything clicked, and everybody got on. It was all about the work and all about having a nice time, everyone looked after everyone, it was great."

Fans of the programme will be delighted to learn that a fourth series has already received the green light.

Trigger Point Season 3 premieres Sunday, October 26 2025 at 9pm on ITV1 and STV, with the full series available to stream on ITVX and STV Player.
