Trigger Point is a British crime thriller television series starring Vicky McClure as a police bomb disposal expert in London. It was created and written by Daniel Brierley, and first broadcast on 23 January 2022 on ITV.
A second series began broadcasting on 28 January 2024, and a third was released on ITVX on 26 October 2025. A fourth series is due to be released in 2026.
Lana Washington is an ex-military bomb disposal operative (known as an 'Expo') and Afghan War veteran who heads a Metropolitan Police bomb squad, using her skills to counter terrorist threats involving explosives.
Executive producer Jed Mercurio developed the series with Brierly during a television bursary scheme, where he also served as his mentor. Brierly, who was relatively new to television outside of some development deals and a trial script on Red Rock, had previously written short films and plays, as well as commercials.[3] The series was filmed in London.[4]
Lucy Mangan for The Guardian gave the first episode three out of five, remarking, "It's great fun as long as you set your preposterousness levels to 'high'. Go in thinking CSI: Peckham or Line of Bomb Duty or Bomby McBombface, rather than The Wire But with Actual Wires or Breaking Explosively Badly and you'll enjoy yourself a lot more."[5] Ed Cumming of The Independent also gave it three out five, praising the tension but finding the dialogue and storytelling melodramatic.[6]
