TV Trigger Point: Is this the last episode and will there be a series 2?

ITV drama Trigger Point has had viewers gripped every Sunday night.

Starring Line of Duty and This Is England's Vicky McClure, the series follows bomb disposal expert Lana Washington as she attempts to foil terrorist campaign in London.

But as the investigation unfolds, Lana has began to suspect colleagues on her own team might be involved in the crusade.

Written by Daniel Brierley and produced by Jed Mercurio's HTM Television, the show 'turns the spotlight on counter terrorism policing and the extraordinary work of the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad.'

With so many questions and loose ends yet to be tied up, viewers will be wondering whether a new series of the show will be hitting our screens anytime soon.

Is this the final episode of Trigger Point?

Trigger Point is made up of six hour-long episodes.

This means the episode on Sunday, 26 February will be the season's last.

Will there be a series 2?

Nothing has yet been confirmed about a new series of Trigger Point, reports the Mirror.

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."

The final episode of Trigger Point airs on Sunday, February 27 at 9pm on ITV.
