NBC’s Line of Fire Debuts as a Family-Centered Federal Thriller

The series mixes episodic cases with a season-long mystery that creators say will be resolved over Season 1.

Overview

  • Line of Fire premiered on NBC on Monday, Sept. 21, with episodes available to stream on Peacock the next day and new installments airing weekly.
  • The show follows the Hollingsworths, a Washington-area family whose members work across the Secret Service, FBI, U.S. Marshals and the Department of Justice.
  • Critics gave broadly positive early reviews, praising the cast chemistry and the series’ blend of procedural cases, serialized conspiracy and family drama.
  • Producers consulted former federal agents, including a Secret Service veteran connected to executive producer Jenna Bush Hager, to shape on-set authenticity and agency detail.
  • The premiere ends on a major cliffhanger about a missing family member, and showrunner Joshua Safran and cast say that mystery will be a central Season 1 storyline with answers unfolding across the season.
