‘Line of Fire’ Next Episode 3 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch as Fans Should Be Ready for a Ticking Clock for the Hollingsworths
‘Line of Fire‘ is in the middle of its early weekly rollout on NBC, with the second installment landing tonight at 10 p.m. ET. That means the next chapter is only a week away, and the show is already asking viewers to pick sides in a family feud wrapped inside a federal conspiracy. If you are trying to plan your Monday night, here is everything you need to know.
‘Line of Fire’ is an action drama about a family of law enforcement agents spread across the FBI, the U.S. Marshals, the Secret Service and the Department of Justice. The series has already generated real buzz, and the upcoming hour promises to raise the pressure on nearly every member of the clan.
‘Line of Fire’ Release Date and Time
NBC’s schedule lists the next new installment, titled ‘There Are Two Wolves,’ for Monday, October 5, running from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. That slot puts it right where fans have been tuning in since the premiere. The network describes the show as a Monday night drama that airs at 10/9c.
NBC paired the launch with the two hour season premiere of ‘The Voice,’ a common strategy for building an audience behind a reliable Monday draw. The lead in on that night is ‘The Voice’ with its blind auditions, which runs from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. So you can settle in for a full evening of NBC without touching the remote.
Viewers on the West Coast and in Central time should check local listings, since the network schedule is built around the 10/9c convention. NBC also has a repeat of the same hour slated for Friday, October 9 at 8 p.m. That is a handy safety net if Monday gets away from you.
Where to Watch ‘Line of Fire’?
The simplest option is live broadcast on NBC. If you miss it, new episodes stream the next day on Peacock. That quick turnaround means you will not fall far behind before the following Monday arrives.
Peacock is geo blocked outside the United States, so a subscription will not work abroad without extra steps, and the only fully free way to watch in the US is the live NBC broadcast picked up over the air. Fans in other regions may need to wait for a local distribution deal. For now, the American rollout is the only confirmed route.
As for how long the ride lasts, reports do not fully agree. One outlet says the first season will reportedly have thirteen episodes and that a second season has not yet been announced. Another says the first season is set for ten episodes released weekly. Either way, NBC is giving the show a full fall run to find its footing.
‘Line of Fire’ Episode Preview and What to Expect
The official description for ‘There Are Two Wolves’ packs in a lot. Russ and Clare race the clock to crack a grand jury tampering case, while Mike cracks down on the detail that Micah is working. It is a classic procedural setup with a family twist, because the people chasing the case are also sitting across the dinner table from each other.
The most intriguing thread belongs to Jane. She digs for files on the murdered agents, straining her relationships in order to get ahead of Nia’s investigation. That sounds like a slow burn toward a major clash, and it suggests the central conspiracy is about to get personal in a hurry.
NBC has also noted that Jane tries to run a quiet investigation, a phrase that hints at secrets she is not ready to share. Anyone who enjoys a story where the hero has to lie to the people she loves should keep a close eye on this hour. The tension between duty and family is the engine of the whole series.
‘Line of Fire’ Cast, Guest Stars and Early Buzz
The Hollingsworth clan is anchored by a strong ensemble. Hope Davis plays U.S. Marshal Jane Hollingsworth, Peter Krause plays Secret Service Agent Mike Hollingsworth, and their children Micah, Clare and Russ work for the Secret Service, the FBI and the Department of Justice. Charlie Barnett also stars.
NBC has booked ‘Law & Order’ alum Sam Waterston, along with Campbell Scott and Chris Chalk, for guest roles, and the show has been described as political thriller meets family drama. Tyler Posey is also set for a multi episode arc later in the season as an NSA agent with a Marine past and a bond with Russ. That is a lot of star power for a young series.
Critics have been warm so far. In its review, Variety praised the lived in feel of the family and said the conspiracy at the center of the show is even more gripping because of it, calling the series a gem for NBC. Krause himself has described the show as both a family centered series and an action thriller, and he has noted that showrunner Josh Safran brings plenty of family dynamics to the table.
TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager, an executive producer, has also contributed inspiration from her real life experiences with the Secret Service. With a grand jury case, a crackdown on Micah and Jane’s secret digging all colliding, do you think the Hollingsworths can keep their family together when the two wolves finally turn on each other, or will this week’s hour push someone past the point of no return in the comments?
