However, the series is not abandoning the traditional elements of procedural dramas. Showrunner and executive producer Joshua Safran explained during a panel that most episodes will feature a case that can be followed from beginning to end. At the same time, character relationships, the consequences of their actions, and elements of the overarching story will span across all the episodes.<\/p>\n<p>Procedurals have likely remained a very successful genre in TV because audiences can usually watch an individual episode without needing to remember every detail from previous weeks. Serialized dramas, on the other hand, can be a little more difficult for the casual viewer as context from previous episodes and even seasons are often necessary to follow the story. However, it can also potentially motivate audiences to keep watching. By combining both, <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/line-of-fire-show-images-peter-krause\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Line of Fire<\/em> could be a breath of fresh air<\/a> and offer something for everybody. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Line of Fire<\/em><\/strong> will premiere on September 21, 2026, at 10:00 PM ET and 7:00 PM PT on NBC.
