Line of Duty fans are delighted to hear that Vicky McClure is set to star in another cop drama in ITV’s new show Trigger Point which is being filmed now.
Line of Duty captured many of our hearts and after the season six finale, many Line of Duty fans were shocked by twist ending, and left wondering Is Line of Duty season 7 happening? So if you are looking for another cop drama to sink your teeth into while you wait for Season 7 of Line of Duty, Trigger Point might be exactly what you are looking for.
ITV’s new series Trigger Point is the latest cop drama from the minds behind The Bodyguard and Line of Duty. This six-part series will look at the policework surrounding counter-terrorism and look specifically at the work of the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad.
Vicky McClure, who starred in Line of Duty as Detective Inspector Kate Fleming, will be stepping into a similar role in this series as she performs as front-line officer Lana Washington. Her character also goes by the name ‘Expo’ and is an experienced bomb disposal operative who is ex-military and previously served in Afghanistan.
