When did Trigger Point series 2 start?

ITV/STV bosses confirmed the series would begin on Sunday 28th January.

Back in June this year, actress Vicky McClure confirmed filming had wrapped for the second series. Sharing a photo of herself as Lana Washington, she wrote: 'Yes I am as tired as I look 😆 Worth it though!! So bloody worth it! 💥💥💥

‘Lana Washington, Expo 2’ is WRAPPED!! 🎬

'Trigger Point 2 crew & cast gave it EVERYTHING!! Thank You all so SO much!! Now go put ya feet up!!'. (sic)

Will there be a second series of Trigger Point?

Following the success of series one, bosses confirmed the show would return for a six-part series, with Vicky reprising her role as Lana Washington as an EXPO for the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad.

The social media post in February 2020 read: 'New Intel! Trigger Point will return for a second series next year 🙌'. (sic)

Head of ITV 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, but I also want to congratulate Daniel for his scripts. To have held the audience in a state of tension for 6 hours so brilliantly, you can’t believe it’s his first show. I can’t wait to see where series two takes Lana and her team.”

Producer Jed Mercurio added: "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."

Screenwriter Daniel Brierley then said: “I’m honoured and excited to be given the chance to continue Lana’s story. I feel there’s many more twists and turns in her future. It’s been thrilling to see how the public have responded to our show and I can’t wait to see what they will make of the next instalment!”

What is series 2 about?

Carrying on from series one, the second series sees Lana return from secondment and training bomb disposal teams. Although she's not returned fully to active duty, Lana finds herself in danger when a bomb attack goes off in London whilst she's giving a talk to security officers surrounding bomb-centred terrorism.

Is there a trailer for series 2?

A full length trailer was released on Sunday 10th December, showing there's some major drama to come for the cast.

A short 30-second teaser trailer was released on Sunday 3rd December, featuring Vicky McClure as bomb disposal expert Lana Washington.

Without giving away any spoilers from series one, the popular drama focuses on EXPO officers in London who risk their lives on a daily basis for the safety of the country. As well as Vicky, the likes of Adrian Lester, Mark Stanley and Warren Brown also appeared in series one.

Nearly 11 million tuned into the first episode back in January, with every other episode averaging around 9.24 million.
