‘Line of Fire’ Episode 2 Release Date, Time, Trailer and Where to Watch as Jane Faces Clare in a Bank Heist

‘Line of Fire‘ has just introduced the Hollingsworth family, and NBC is already thrusting them into a new crisis. The second episode, titled “A Bigger Picture,” is set to premiere on September 28, putting two branches of federal law enforcement on a collision course.

If you watched the debut and want to know when and where to catch the next episode, this guide provides the release date, air time, streaming options, and a sneak peek of what’s in store for the family. The upcoming episode is expected to challenge loyalties within the show’s law enforcement clan in ways that the pilot only hinted at.

NBC has scheduled “A Bigger Picture” for Monday, September 28, airing from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. This matches the timeslot in which the series premiered, so viewers can maintain their weekly routine without any adjustments.

The drama benefits from a strong lead-in from one of the network’s top shows. The series debuted following the two-hour season 30 premiere of ‘The Voice’, which continues that week with its Blind Auditions Part 4.

Season one consists of 10 episodes, ensuring a full fall run rather than a brief burst. The third episode, “There Are Two Wolves,” will air on October 5, meaning the story will progress steadily on a weekly basis.

The easiest way to watch is through live television. New episodes air Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on NBC and are available for streaming the following day on Peacock, so anyone who misses the live broadcast won’t have to wait long.

For cord cutters, there are several options. Viewers without a cable subscription can watch the live NBC broadcast via services like Hulu Plus Live TV, YouTube TV, Fubo, and DirecTV Stream. Note that Peacock is geo-blocked outside the United States, and the only completely free option in the U.S. is the live broadcast available with an over-the-air antenna.

Canadian viewers are also covered. They can watch the series on Citytv and stream it through Citytv+. Additionally, anyone who misses the Monday airing will have a second chance, as NBC has scheduled a repeat of “A Bigger Picture” for Friday, October 2.

NBC’s description hints at a clash that hits close to home. A bank heist turns deadly as the U.S. Marshals and FBI compete to apprehend the fugitive, putting Jane against Clare. This means a mother and daughter working for rival agencies will have to compete on the same case.

The tension extends beyond the case itself. Micah navigates working for Mike in the Secret Service while concealing a forbidden relationship. Working under a father with strong opinions about procedures creates friction, and a secret romance only heightens the stakes.

This setup builds on a pilot that already had the family on edge. The first episode saw the Hollingsworths investigating a double homicide involving a U.S. Marshal, with another murder bringing the case even closer to home. As the trailer indicates, Jane calls in her FBI agent daughter Clare to assist in investigating a colleague’s murder, making the professional rivalry in the second hour feel like a natural escalation.

The cast adds real weight to the premise. Hope Davis portrays Jane, Kat Cunning plays Clare, Tommy O’Brien is Micah, and Peter Krause takes on the role of Mike. Behind the scenes, the series was created by Joshua Safran and is produced by Universal Television for NBC.

There is also a personal angle to the story. TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager serves as an executive producer, and the drama draws some inspiration from her real-life experiences with the Secret Service. She has mentioned that the idea stemmed from the way protective services do everything for others and how that impacts their own families.

This family-first angle is what sets the format apart from a typical procedural. Krause has described the show as both a family-centered series and an action thriller, and the second episode appears poised to test both aspects. With Jane and Clare on opposing sides of a manhunt, can the family endure a case that forces a mother and daughter to prioritize their agencies over each other?
