NBC has requested five additional scripts for the crime drama Line of Fire, potentially extending its first season to 18 episodes following strong viewership numbers.
Fans awaiting news on a second season of NBC’s crime drama Line of Fire received positive developments regarding the show’s immediate future. The network has ordered five additional scripts for the series, which was created by Joshua Safran and features Peter Krause from 9-1-1 in a leading role.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that this request follows solid performance metrics for the drama’s initial run. Since its premiere, the show has accumulated more than 12 million cross-platform viewers, a figure that includes on-air repeats. Additionally, the series attracted a same-day audience of 2.98 million people during its first three episodes.
Although the script order does not guarantee a renewal for Season 2, it indicates NBC’s interest in producing further content. If these new scripts are greenlit, Line of Fire could reach a total of 18 episodes in its debut season. This would represent an increase of five episodes over the original order of 13, effectively lengthening the first season.
The narrative focuses on the Hollingsworth family, whose members operate across various branches of federal law enforcement. They handle cases for agencies including the FBI, U.S. Marshals, Secret Service, and the Department of Justice. The storyline escalates when the family becomes entangled in a deadly conspiracy, with each member appearing to be targeted by an unknown killer.
To survive, the characters must protect one another and pursue justice against their assailant, even if doing so requires them to violate their professional codes. The cast includes Hope Davis as Jane, a District U.S. Marshal; Kat Cunning as Clare, an FBI Special Agent; Tommy O’Brien as Mike “Micah” Jr., a Secret Service Special Agent; Taylor Bloom as Russ, a Marine veteran and analyst in the DOJ National Security Division; and Charlie Barnett as Jack, a veteran and Mike’s son who was presumed dead.
Krause portrays Mike Hollingsworth, serving as Deputy Special Agent in Charge within the U.S. Secret Service. Viewers in the USA can watch Line of Fire (2026) on Peacock the day after its broadcast on NBC.
