ITV have now recommissioned the high-stakes show for a fourth series.
Earlier this year, Vicky was spotted on set while filming series three.
Polly Hill, ITV's Director of Drama, shared her excitement about the show being confirmed to return.
She said: "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."
Polly added: "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."
While star Vicky commented: "We're all buzzing ITV have such faith in this series to commission a fourth before the third has even aired."
She continued: "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."
The premise follows a bomb squad in London and the difficult situations they handle on a daily basis.
Vicky's character, Lana, leads a Metropolitan Police bomb squad - but has a background as an Afghan War veteran.
In particular, the show's second series was a huge hit with viewers and gained 8.1 million viewers when it aired.

Cricket WAG Emma Lyon stuns in designer outfit as she watches hubby Nathan play in London - and you won't believe how much it costs

Emma Lyon has turned heads in a stunning designer outfit worth at least $17,800 as she watched her husband Nathan Lyon try to steer Australia to victory in the World Test Championship in London on Wednesday. The mum-of-one, who shares a one-year-old daughter with the spin bowler, was in the good seats at London's famous Lord's stadium after s paring no expense on her flight over to the UK. She treated her Instagram followers to photos of her standing on a balcony at the 'home of cricket', cradling her baby daughter and looking like she could've just done a photo shoot for Vogue. Daily Mail Australia has tracked down the various piece of her ensemble, which is far out of the average Aussie cricket fan's price range. Emma was dressed in an Integrated Fluid Silk Skirt from Dutch fashion house Róhe, which would have set her back about $1200. She paired that with another piece from the designer, a matching Sleeveless Gliet-Jacket worth $1100. Emma's jewellery puts those items into the shade in terms of cost, however: she's wearing what appears to be a Cartier Love Bracelet worth $9050 as well as another piece from the famed luxury company, a Juste Un clou bracelet priced at $6450. The 32-year-old also flaunted her high-end tastes when she documented her journey to England for the match recently. Lyon showed off $22,000 in accessories and $1500 worth of in-flight skin care as she and her daughter flew to London. That included a Chanel bag worth $19,230 and a $3725 tote bag from Goyard. Emma finally confirmed she and Nathan welcomed a baby girl to the world in September 2023. They made the reveal in October 2024, with Nathan now a father to three girls as he shares two children with his ex-partner Mel Waring. The off-spinner lost his wicket for a duck on Wednesday night, Australian time, as the Aussies stumbled to a first-innings total of just 212. He only got one over in before stumps as pacemen Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh combined to leave South Africa reeling at 4/43. She flew first-class to England with her daughter late last month and brought her $19,230 Chanel bag (pictured) Lyon has been one of Australia's best players since making his Test debut in 2011, taking 553 wickets at an average of just 30.19. That's reflected in his contract with Cricket Australia, which pays him a rumoured $1.1million a year. He is also contracted to the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League. Lyon's ex-wife Mel Waring recently gave Daily Mail Australia an exclusive update on her life after she moved to Canberra with the two daughters she shares with the star.

The World Tonight Will voters feel better off from Chancellor's spending plans?

What would you do with a trillion pounds of public money over the next four years? The Chancellor says "renewing Britain" is at the heart of her plans. So when will voters start to feel better off?

And one of the most influential figures in the history of pop music, Brian Wilson - the creative genius behind the Beach Boys - has died. The veteran DJ Bob Harris - who knew him for more than five decades - pays tribute.

Orlando Bloom's just paid £10,000 to have his blood 'cleaned' - but here are 7 much cheaper ways to reduce the quantity of microplastics in your body

At 48, Orlando Bloom still looks as fresh-faced (and drop-dead gorgeous) as when he started out in Hollywood three decades ago. It's unsurprising, then, that the Lord of the Rings star is no stranger to rejuvenating – and often intrusive – procedures, from purging his body with frog poison to ingesting bentonite clay to cleanse his digestive system. But the actor's latest treatment might be his wildest yet. Bloom headed to London 's Clarify Clinic for a £10,000 procedure where a machine supposedly removed the microplastics from his blood.
