Our highly anticiapted Fall 2026 TV lineup is finally here, and NBC is starting off strong with Line of Fire, a thrilling series about a family of law enforcement agents comes from creator and writer Joshua Safran (Gossip Girl, Quantico, Smash).
NBC’s official Line of Fire synopsis 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.

Charlie Barnett

To describe Charlie Barnett’s role in Line of Fire would be to spoil Charlie Barnett’s role in Line of Fire. So let’s just dive into the 38-year-old actor’s career, shall we? Bartnett is likely best known for his role as Peter Mills in Chicago Fire, but he’s also starred in dozens of other projects, including You, Arrow, Russian Doll, The Acolyte, and more.

We can only assume some love triangle drama between Terry, Jane, and Mike awaits!
The 65-year-old acot, director, and producer is known for over 100 TV and film roles, but what makes his Line of Fire casting extra special is the fact that he’s a frequent collaborator with Davis.
