On Monday (9 June), ITV announced it had recommissioned a fourth series of Trigger Point, starring Vicky McClure and produced by Jed Mercurio’s HTM Television.

Is Trigger Point worth watching?

Season two, which last aired in September 2024, averaged 8.1million viewers and was streamed 30million times on ITVX. 

Series three also had a special guest visit – back in March, Her Majesty The Queen visited the Trigger Point set to mark the start of ITV’s 70th year celebrations, and following the success of the series. Well, if it's good enough for the Queen…

With the news, ITV’s Director of Drama, Polly Hill, commented: "Trigger Point is one of ITV’s most-watched dramas of last year after Mr Bates vs The Post Office, so I’m delighted that this thrilling series is returning for a fourth series. I know audiences will be once again on the edge of their seat as Lana and the team take us on another thrilling ride to keep the capital safe."

Meanwhile, Vicky McClure added: "We’re all buzzing ITV have such faith in this series to commission a fourth before the third has even aired. 

"I love working with the team, we have a great time making the show and I cannot wait to continue Lana’s journey on Trigger Point."
