ITV drama streamed 30,000,000 times confirms season 4 a year after final episode
The hit ITV drama from the creator of Line of Duty is officially coming back for season four – after the show has been off the air for over a year.
The bomb threat drama Trigger Point stars Vicky McClure as Afghan war veteran Lana Washington, whose bomb disposal team is tasked with protecting the public from explosives and terrorist threats.
Produced by Jed Mercurio, the nail-biting show has been commissioned for a fourth season before the third has even aired.
Season three wrapped filming in London last month and is set to hit screens this autumn, with the freshly renewed fourth season coming in 2026.
The show averaged eight million viewers for its second series and became the second most-watched drama on ITV1 (behind Mr Bates vs The Post Office) when it aired way back in 2024.
McClure, 42, will film the batch of season four episodes this summer, sharing a short clip from the set of Trigger Point season three to confirm the good news.

McClure showed her blackened fingers, presumably from filming bomb stunts, and told fans: 'We're having a brilliant time. We're nearly wrapped. It's very explosive in there but I can't show you.
She then teased: 'What I can tell you is I've got a little secret. This is not the end. We're about to bounce straight into series four.'
McClure added: 'I can't wait to continue the story of Lana Washington and her colleagues and the brilliant people that make this show.'
In a statement the Line of Duty star said she's 'buzzing' ITV have backed the drama enough to greenlit season four 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,' said McClure. More Trending
ITV's Director of Drama Polly Hill praised the show as one of ITV's 'most-watched dramas' of 2024, adding: '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.'
Mercurio and McClure are both listed as executive producers for the upcoming fourth season, with Bloodlands writer Chris Brandon on board to pen the scripts.

JoJo Siwa says Chris Hughes 'makes everything better' as he helps her beat fear
The couple who met on ITV reality show Celebrity Big Brother have been enjoying a visit to the Cotswolds, where they toured the stables run by Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning trainer Jonjo O'Neill JoJo Siwa has told her followers that Chris Hughes 'makes everything better' after they visited some of his favourite places. The pop star, 22 and ex-Love Island contestant have started dating after meeting on the set of Celebrity Big Brother. After a trip to Mexico to support Dance Moms star Jojo, where she was performing and celebrating her birthday, Chris was keen to show his new partner the Cotswolds. The 32-year-old grew up on a farm in the area and he has had a long association with racing stable Jackdaws Castle, where Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning trainer Jonjo O'Neill is based. Chris, who rides out on the gallops when time allows, took Jojo on a tour of the yard - and started to help her overcome her fear of horses. In an Instagram post sharing pictures of the trip, Jojo was seen stroking a pony in a field, with the caption: "Touching a horse for the first time in 8 years (since I was thrown off one during a filming I've been scared to be around them haha loved this though after I warmed up!).' Chris was keen to show Jojo how gentle horses can be at O'Neill's yard, with the pair posing for a picture next to a thoroughbred he rode, showing his talents in the saddle.

"Gorgeous boy riding a gorgeous horse," Jojo said, with an image of Chris heading up the gallops at Jackdaws, which has state-of-the-art facilities including a swimming pool and solarium for thoroughbred horses. On the same visit, Chris was seen leading Jojo towards the stables to meet the racers, who have their names on the wall next to each box. A friend of the O'Neill family, Chris became besotted with a mare named Annie Mc, who raced in the Marsh Novices' Chase at the 2020 Cheltenham Festival. The reality TV star has worked as an ambassador for bookmakers Coral and they owned her through the firm's racing club. Annie Mc won seven times, including a Grade Two event and two races at Listed level, performances Chris and the members were proud of. After a win at Warwick in February 2021, he tweeted: "I'm gone, emotional wreck. Pure heart. Shaking. I love you so much Annie, you've my heart forever. Superstar. Jumps racing gets you like this. Best sport in the world." Chris has seen Annie Mc at Carisbrooke Stud, where she was retired to become a broodmare and gave birth to a foal by Doctor Dino. On a rainy day, Chris patted the now 11-year-old former chaser and kissed his "legend" on the nose in one clip. "She fills our hearts with happiness, win, lose or draw and she's just such a special, genuine mare to be involved with," he said previously. "She's one in a lifetime and all of us connected are so proud. Heart of a lion." As well as spending time with horses, Chris and Jojo went to Broadway, enjoying coffee and breakfast on the trip as their relationship continues to blossom. "Nothing beats wholesome & pure days like these," Jojo added on Instagram.

Say can you see an American in the Love Island villa? Well, for the first time in show history, someone from across the pond is set to enter the iconic villa as a bombshell. ITV has revealed that Toni from Sin City (Las Vegas) is set to arrive in the villa and she will have the power to steal one of the boys straight away.

Despite the reality series sparking plenty of spin-offs - including Love Island: USA - it has tended to stick to recruiting islanders from the UK. However to start off series 12 tonight (June 9), a bombshell from across the pond is set to enter the Mallorcan villa. Toni, 24, is swapping Las Vegas for the sunshine of Spain.
