Key Points:
- Peter Krause returns to TV as Secret Service agent Mike Hollingsworth in NBC's new series "Line of Fire," premiering September 21, which centers on a dysfunctional Washington, D.C. family involved in federal law enforcement.
- The show, produced by Jenna Bush Hager, is a fictional drama that includes a controversial storyline about a potential affair between a Secret Service agent and the president's daughter, though it does not reflect Bush Hager's real life.
- To ensure authenticity, the production consulted Steve Hughes, a 25-year Secret Service veteran, and paid close attention to details such as presidential vehicle protocols and set design.
- "Line of Fire" blends thriller elements, suspense, comedy, and family drama, marking a departure from Krause's previous roles, including his character on "9-1-1" and the family-focused "Parenthood."
- The series intentionally avoids current political realities, offering viewers a fictionalized and less politically charged portrayal of life in Washington, D.C.
