Peacock unveiled today a trailer forTrigger Point, a British thriller series from ITV that is making its way to the streamer’s catalog in early July. The series centers around a bomb squad that has literally one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: dismantling explosive devices before they go off and cause countless tragic deaths.
The trailer forTrigger Pointreveals that, much like you could imagine, tensions are normally high in the bomb squad on regular days. But, as it turns out, they can get even higher. When a terrorist group starts targeting public and crowded places to put bombs in London, the recipe for chaos is set: It’s a battle against time all over the land of the Queen to save as many people as possible – and for the bomb squad, that means risking their lives on a daily basis.
Also revealed by the trailer is that the group of terrorists will give the bomb squad a heck of a nightmare, since the bombs aren’t randomly placed, and they are sophisticated enough to provide extra challenges when trying to disarm them. And, of course, the occasional ticking clock will make its way into the screen to provide an extra measure of tension.
