Trigger Point, the “propulsive” crime drama from ITV, has teased the “start of a sinister vendetta” in a series of first-look images. Dropping today (29 September), ITV released the new pictures as well as a new trailer for the upcoming third series.
Starring Vicky McClure as a former military bomb disposal expert named Lana Washington, the series follows the character as she transfers her military skills to her new role at the Metropolitan Police.
Comprising six new episodes, series three sees Lana and the experienced team of bomb disposal officers come together to “investigate a bomb threat that reveals itself to be the start of a sinister vendetta”.
What to Read Next
Per the synopsis, “someone is targeting individuals and demanding revenge” so the Bomb Disposal Squad must work alongside the Police Counterterrorism Unit in a race against time to locate the bomber before they can claim their next victim.
Reprising their roles and joining McClure on the cast of season three are stars including Eric Shango, Nabil Elouahabi, Natalie Simpson and Maanuv Thiara.

In the trailer, a black cab with the driver trapped inside is seen fitted with an explosive device as Lana says over her radio: “There is a chemical weapon in the cab.”
It then becomes obvious that the team are chasing a serial killer who is determined to make their victims suffer while Lana does her best to catch the criminal.
