Vicky McClure's Trigger Point will be back for another series with the Line Of Duty star confirmed to be reprising her role as Lana Washington.

The ITV six-part series follows Lana as a bomb disposal operative for the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad and it was a hit, with fans – and even the cast – on the edge of their seats each week.

The show will be returning in 2023, with ITV confirming that over 11 million people have watched the first episode, so they are keen to carry on Lana's story.

Polly Hill, Head of Drama at ITV said: "I am so delighted to see Trigger Point return. Vicky is stunning as Lana and it's brilliantly produced by Jed [Mercurio] and HTM, but I also want to congratulate Daniel [Brierley] for his scripts.

"To have held the audience in a state of tension for six hours so brilliantly, you can't believe it's his first show. I can't wait to see where series two takes Lana and her team."

Line of Duty producer Jed Mercurio said: "Everyone at HTM Television is thrilled by the success of Trigger Point. Thanks to all our brilliant cast and crew and especially to the viewers who watched in such large numbers. We've received unswerving support from ITV throughout the production and we are delighted to have been commissioned for a second series."

Writer Daniel Brierley added that he was "honoured and excited to be given the chance to continue Lana's story" and promised lots "more twists and turns" in her future.

When asked about another possible series for Line of Duty McClure said she's "all game" if Mercurio gives the green light.

Talking to The Guardian, she said: "I don't know! I don't know, there's no word of it. I think we've all been really honest and said should that happen, we're all game."

She added that she would 100% be part of a new version of the show with Mercurio, and her co-stars Martin Compston and Adrian Dunbar if they wanted to do it too.

"I'll just stick with the guys. I think when it comes to a close, it will be a natural close for us all."
