NBC is giving its freshman drama “Line of Fire” a full-season order. Multiple outlets report that the network is adding episodes to bring the series to an 18-episode total.
The coverage aligns on the basic details: “Line of Fire” is described as a family drama involving federal law enforcement agents entangled in a mystery, starring Peter Krause and Hope Davis. Several articles note it is performing well as one of NBC’s breakout hits, and they reference the show’s move from an initial shorter episode plan toward a longer run. The main differences are in emphasis—some outlets frame the update as a “five-episode” extension, while others focus on the significance of the decision to NBC’s programming performance and viewing gains.
Overall, the reporting synthesizes into a single picture of an 18-episode full-season commitment, with most sources treating it as a continuation of momentum from the show’s launch. Variation is limited to how each outlet characterizes the series’ impact and why the order matters for NBC’s schedule.
