ITV viewers have been left saying the same thing as Vicky McClure’s Trigger Point returned for a fourth series.
ITV viewers have issued the same demand after Trigger Point’s return. Line of Duty actress Vicky McClure reprised her role as Lana Washington, as the drama made its comeback for a fourth series.
ITV had previously teased: “The series opens with Lana on the front line with Counter Terrorism Command as London is rocked by a wave of devastating bombings. The attackers are the most skilled and dangerous adversaries Lana has ever faced, and together with her team, they do all they can to track them down and prevent further casualties.
“But as the hunt for the bombers intensifies, unsettling cracks begin to appear in the investigation. Even those Lana works closely with are hiding dark secrets. Time is running out. The fate of the capital hangs in the balance, and Lana confronts her greatest challenge yet…”
After binging all the episodes of the new series of Trigger Point, fans have already been issuing a demand for a fifth instalment. One person questioned: “TRIGGER POINT!!!!!!!!! Hands down the best show @ITV has ever shown. Vicky McClure should be given an award for her services within the show. Without spoiling it, it was an amazing end to an excellent series. Will there be another?”
“I need Series 5 NOW!” another said, as someone else said: “Had to binge the entire new season in 24h more pls.” Another person shared their excitement, writing: “On the edge of my seat, heart in my mouth. Vicky McClure absolutely brilliant.” Someone else had said: “Just watched first episode of new series of #triggerpoint. Wow! Had me on the edge of my seat.”
“So pleased it’s finally back,” another echoed. Another called the new series “absolute cinema”, while one said it was “the best series of #TriggerPoint yet”. Creator Jed Mercurio previously teased what fans can expect, sharing: “With returning series it’s always about giving the audience a good helping of what they love about the show, but also working out where we can break new ground dramatically.
“Finding the balance between those two things is the fun part, and it’s the privilege of having a returning show. As always, series four of Trigger Point gives us both a threat that creates jeopardy for Lana and her team, and a mystery – who is behind this bombing campaign, and where is the next attack going to be?
“All I can say is that this is the most dangerous bomb threat that the team has faced. We raised the stakes as high as we possibly could. We also made a conscious decision at the start of series three to give ourselves a bigger canvas and use the characters around Lana much more.
“We’re incredibly fortunate that we have a great ensemble – everybody is lovely and very talented, so we have spent time carving out those characters and opening a door on their personal lives, which has been a very exciting part of the process. We’ll delve more into the lives of the team, and their personal relationships this series.”
He also hinted at a possible fifth series, adding: “We feel very fortunate and privileged to have the audience that we do, and we have a lot of respect and love for them. Generally, conversations about another series boil down to whether the broadcaster feels there will be viewers, so we will see.
“But I would be up for it, I think everyone on the show would be – we’re really proud of the work we do, and the connection that we have with our audience, so we want to give them more.”
Vicky echoed Jed’s comments, saying, of a fifth season: “That’s down to the audience, it’s always their decision. If we’re going again then we’ll need to go even bigger and better, because that’s what they deserve after backing the show for this period of time.
“It’s tough these days because we have a completely different way of watching television, but our viewing figures have been incredible. If that continues and people still have the desire for the show then it’d be crazy to say no.”
Trigger Point is available to watch on ITVX.
