Vicky McClure is back for a second season, but her late partner Joel "Nut" Nutkins won't return after he was killed in a spectacular opening episode of the first series.

Bomb data expert Sonya Reeves (Kerry Godliman) is back, which is good news for Wash as she became Wash's most trusted colleague following Nut's death. Kevin Eldon, who played Wash's father Jeff, also returns.
The second series also feature new faces, such as Natalie Simpson (North Sea Connection, Outlander) who plays DS Helen Morgan, Julian Ovenden (Bridgerton) who plays Commander John Francis and Tomiwa Edun as Alex (Young Wallander, Trying).

Trigger Point season 2 plot
With Karl Maguire very much out of the picture, Wash and her team will have a new terrorist to contend with in the second season. But who could it be?
An ITV press release offers some clues...
"In episode one of the second season, Lana is just back from secondment training Ukrainian bomb disposal teams, but has not returned to active duty. She is giving a routine talk to security officers from major financial institutions about the issues surrounding bomb centred terrorism, when there is a bomb attack in the heart of the city. Lana is closest to the incident, but is she ready to take it on?"
Series two could also delve further into Vicky's personal life, although whether she'll still be with DI Thom Youngblood is another matter. Their relationship seemed strained at the best of times, so her fling with Karl Maguire will hardly have helped things...
Either way, creator Daniel Brierley seems to have plenty of ideas for the next series and with executive producer Jed Mercurio just a phone call away, he shouldn't be short of inspiration...
"I'm honored and excited to be given the chance to continue Lana's story," he said. "I feel there's many more twists and turns in her future. It's been thrilling to see how the public has responded to our show and I can't wait to see what they will make of the next instalment!"
