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<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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”. <\/p>\n

What to Read Next<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Reprising their roles and joining McClure on the cast of season three are stars including Eric Shango, Nabil Elouahabi, Natalie Simpson and Maanuv Thiara. <\/p>\n

Each of the aforementioned actors feature in the newly released images, as well as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels star Jason Flemyng, who is set to make a guest appearance in the upcoming season. <\/p>\n

As well as being treated to the brand new images, ITV has released a teaser trailer for Trigger Point season three, which promises a nail-biting experience for fans.<\/p>\n

In the action-packed 60-second clip, viewers see Lana and the team of bomb disposal officers, also known as EXPOs, as they attempt to keep London safe from terrorist threats and explosive devices. <\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n
