How many episodes of Trigger Point are there - and will there be a season 2?

Fans of ITV's Trigger Point will be hoping for a second series of the explosive show.

Trigger Point follows Line of Duty and This Is England's Vicky McClure as bomb disposal expert Lana Washington attempting to track down a terrifying psycho bomber.

In the first three episodes of the new series (some spoilers ahead), Lana's suspicions has led to her checking on her own colleagues after discovering that military experience must have been needed to make the bombs her team is chasing.

Fan theories about the bomber's identity are rife and some believe it to be Lana's younger brother Billy, or fellow officer John Hudson, played by Kris Hitchen.

It will also have left people wondering if so many questions will be wrapped up in the remaining episodes and whether a new series of the show will be commissioned.

How many episodes of Trigger Point are there?

There have been three episodes so far, with another three still to come (ITV)

Three episodes of Trigger Point have aired so far and each has been packed with drama.

Lana and her team have six episodes to play with before the series ends, each of them featuring on ITV every Sunday at 9pm.

So far, far-right group The Crusaders have taken credit for the attack at Westhaven and the bomb blast at the mosque.

Lana became increasingly suspicious of colleague John and broke into his locker to find an A-Z map of targets and an English Flag leaflet. So is he the man behind the attack, or is this a ruse by the writers to throw people off the scent?

Will there be a second season of Trigger Point?

A new series has not been confirmed yet (ITV)

Nothing has yet been confirmed about a new series of Trigger Point and it is unlikely ITV will announce anything until after the finale.

The final episode of the season will be on Sunday, February 27.

A new series may depend on what happens in the final episode and if writer Daniel Brierley wraps things up nicely, or leaves us with a frustrating cliffhanger until a new series is brought out.

Brierley has said he found the idea of writing a show about an explosives team interesting, so may want to explore the idea a little more.

He told National World : "I had the initial idea watching an old YouTube documentary about the bomb squad in Northern Ireland in the 1970s.

"It just felt like an interesting jumping-off point for drama, especially considering the psychology of people that do that job. You and I – well, I don’t know about you, but certainly, if I saw a dangerous thing, I’d run away, but these guys were conditioned to walk towards it."

Whether ITV will be conditioned to talk towards another series remains to be seen.
