NBC has announced that it will pick up the drama series Line of Fire for its 2026-2027 broadcast season. Jenna Bush Hager, who serves as an executive producer on the show, celebrated the milestone on social media.

It has not yet been announced whether Line of Fire will air in the fall or midseason. However, the news will soon be announced as networks typically reveal their schedules for the following season in mid-May.

The synopsis of the series reads: "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."

The drama series stars Peter Krause, Hope Davis, Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien, Taylor Bloom, and Charlie Barnett. It has been written by Josh Safran, directed by Rebecca Thomas, and Ben Spector serves alongside Jenna as an executive producer. Line of Fire is produced by Universal Television.

Jenna took to her Instagram Stories to share that NBC had acquired the series for its new season lineup. "This brilliant team," she penned alongside a photograph of the show's credentials.

It continues: "Bridging personal differences and crossing professional boundaries, the Thornhill family 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."

"NBC called us yesterday, we've been working on this for a while," Jenna explained of her new career venture. "Who knew I would do something like this, ladies and gentlemen?"
