Broadcast Schedule and Finale
The fourth season of the high-stakes ITV thriller Trigger Point is currently in the midst of its broadcast run on ITV1 and STV, with the series finale confirmed for Monday, September 14. Following an opening that saw the first two episodes air on consecutive nights in late August, the show has transitioned to a weekly Sunday and Monday night pattern for the remainder of its six-episode arc.
Viewers who prefer to watch the series at their own pace can access the full season on ITVX and STV Player. According to the current broadcast schedule, Episode 3 is slated for September 6 at 9 p.m., followed by the final episodes on September 7, 13, and 14.
Plot and Stakes
The current season follows Lana Washington, played by Vicky McClure, and her explosives team as they navigate a series of high-level threats in London. Operating alongside Counter Terrorism Command, the team faces an increasingly complex investigation as they attempt to thwart a series of bombings. The narrative tension is heightened by internal friction within the operation, with the discovery of secrets held by those closest to Lana.
The series maintains its reputation for high intensity. As the investigation shifts toward a private airfield and encounters escalating complications, the finale promises a race against time where the lives of thousands are at risk. With the show’s established history—boasting over 91 million streams across its first three seasons and a consistent viewership averaging seven million per episode—the stakes for the season finale remain significant for both the network and the audience.
The Possibility of Season 5
With the finale approaching, speculation regarding the future of the series has intensified. Lead actress Vicky McClure has addressed the possibility of a fifth season, emphasizing that the decision rests primarily with the viewership. “For me, it always boils down to the audience,” McClure noted. “They’re the deciders and, my word, they’ve been so supportive to Trigger Point over the years.”
While no official renewal has been announced, the series remains one of ITV’s most successful dramas. The production team has described the current season as “more belligerent and more rebellious,” indicating a deliberate effort to elevate the stakes and narrative complexity, which may serve as a testing ground for future installments.
