Peter Krause, best known to recent audiences as Bobby Nash in ABC's 9-1-1 before his character's death last season, is returning to television this autumn in a new leading role. He fronts NBC's upcoming drama Line of Fire, playing the patriarch of a family in which every member works in law enforcement, marking a fresh small-screen outing for the veteran actor of Six Feet Under and Parenthood fame.

In Line of Fire, Krause plays Mike Hollingsworth, a father of three – Russ, Clare and Micah – with Hope Davis playing his wife Jane, who also works in law enforcement, and Charlie Barnett also starring. The series, centred on a family spread across different government agencies, premieres on NBC on 21 September.
