‘Line of Fire’ Trailer Introduces NBC Drama’s Family of Law Enforcement Agents
NBC has set its fall 2026 premiere dates, and among them is one of its new dramas, joining the Monday night lineup. On Thursday, August 20, the network released the trailer for that series, Line of Fire starring Peter Krause and Hope Davis.
The video introduces the family all in law enforcement (and different agencies), and so crime scene and workplace conversations also involves questions about significant others … including some choices that get a bit messy. Plus, there’s a killer targeting government agents — and one of the family! “We have to get to him before they do,” Krause’s character, Mike Hollingsworth, says at one point. Who does he mean?
Read on for everything we know about Line of Fire, which brings Krause back to TV after his 9-1-1 exit in 2025.
When does Line of Fire premiere?
The new drama is part of NBC’s fall schedule. It will premiere on Monday, September 21, at 10/9c, airing after The Voice Season 30.

What is Line of Fire about?
According to NBC’s official description, “A family of law enforcement agents bridges personal differences and crosses professional boundaries as they tackle cases for the FBI, US Marshals, Secret Service and Department of Justice. After a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice … even if it means betraying their sworn code.”
Krause previewed what to expect in TV Insider’s suite at the ATX TV Festival in May.
“The character I portray is in the Secret Service. Hope Davis, my wife, is a federal marshal. Our daughter is in the FBI. I have another son in the Secret Service who may or may not be having an affair with the president’s daughter. And then my other son is in the DOJ. But we have issues with each other as well,” he said.
He added that the appeal was “a very, very tight script” by Josh Safran, teasing, “There were a lot of twists and turns. I didn’t see a lot of the things coming. And it was a different character for me to get to play.”
Who’s in the Line of Fire cast?
The drama stars Peter Krause, Hope Davis, Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien, Taylor Bloom, and Charlie Barnett.
Writer Josh Safran executive produces with Jenna Bush Hager and Ben Spector. Director Rebecca Thomas also executive produces the pilot. The series is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
Is there a Line of Fire trailer?
Yes! You can watch it above. As Davis’ character wonders at the end, “How do you protect the world and the people you love in it at the same time?”

I enjoyed the short-lived 2003 Line of Fire series on ABC created by Rod Lurie but it’s certainly been long enough for the name — which if you count In the Line of Fire especially has been hung on a bunch of shows, TV episodes, films, books, and more — to get reused.
