“The whole cast are amazing in this series and HTM are a great team to work with. There’s going to be lots more twists and turns and of course explosions in this third series, viewers are going to love it!”
Mercurio said: “Thank you to all the Trigger Point viewers who have made the series such a success. Thanks to our fantastic crew and brilliant cast led by the amazing Vicky McClure.
“We’re thrilled ITV, together with All3Media International, have commissioned a third season of twists, turns, bangs and blasts.”
Vicky McClure commented: “Trigger Point is back! We’re all so excited to get going.
“Having had such a positive response to the previous two series, we want to make the next series even more exciting, keep everyone on the edge of their seats whilst getting to know even more about the brilliant characters in the show.
“Lana is such a complex character to play, it’s a joy for an actor to play a role with as many layers as Lana.”
