The show left viewers on the edge of their seats in early 2022 and a second series was commissioned within weeks of the final episode.  Trigger Point follows the life of McClure’s character Lana Washington, a Metropolitan Police bomb disposal expert who deals with terror threats in the capital. 

When is Trigger Point Season 2 out?

The second series of ITV's Trigger Point will hit screens on Tuesday, January 23rd at 9pm.

What is the new series of Trigger Point about?

Before we get into what the new series could be about, it’s worth reminding ourselves what happened at the end of series one. 

In the series finale, it was revealed that Karl Maguire was the bomber behind a string of attacks. 

Maguire was shot dead in episode six after strapping a bomb to himself. 

So, in terms of what to expect in season two, it looks like the plot will be based on real-world events. 

Back in March, ITV said: “In episode one, Lana is just back from secondment training Ukrainian 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-centred 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?”

Yes! The trailer for series two was released in December - and it looks like we’re in for some action-packed episodes.
