Vicky McClure's tense drama Trigger Point has received a season four order ahead of its series three premiere.

Hailing from Line of Duty creator Jed Mercurio, the explosive ITV drama follows McClure's Lana Washington and her team of bomb disposal officers, known as EXPOs.

Season three, set to premiere in the autumn, will see Lana and her squad investigating a bomb threat that's revealed to be a vendetta plot.

Weighing in on Trigger Point being renewed for season four, lead star McClure was "buzzing" to continue Lana's story.

"We're all buzzing ITV have such faith in this series to commission a fourth before the third has even aired," McClure said in a statement.
