The countdown has begun for the explosive return of one of ITV's most gripping dramas. Vicky McClure reprises her role as bomb disposal expert Lana Washington in Trigger Point: Vendetta, promising even higher stakes and more intense action than the first series.
A Personal Vendetta Unleashed
This time, the danger isn't just professional – it's deeply personal. Series two sees Lana facing a calculated campaign against her, forcing the seasoned EXPU officer to confront threats that strike at the very heart of her world. The official synopsis reveals Lana will be "at the centre of a personal vendetta against her," creating a tension-filled narrative that will test her limits like never before.
Familiar Faces and New Threats
McClure isn't alone in her return to the explosive drama. Warren Brown returns as fellow EXPU officer Danny, though their dynamic has significantly shifted since we last saw them. The new series introduces fresh challenges that will push their professional relationship to its limits.
Adding to the star power, Line of Duty star Nigel Lindsay returns as Commander Bregman, while The Crown's Tristan Sturrock and Unforgotten's Kevin Eldon join the cast, bringing new dimensions to the high-stakes world of bomb disposal.
From Screen Success to Real-World Impact
The first series of Trigger Point proved to be a massive hit for ITV, becoming one of 2022's most-watched dramas with an average of 8 million viewers. Its success demonstrated the British public's appetite for well-crafted, tension-filled thrillers that balance heart-pounding action with complex character development.
