The series from writer and executive producer Josh Safran follows “a family of law enforcement agents,” who work for the FBI, US Marshals, Secret Service, and Department of Justice.

“After a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice … even if it means betraying their sworn code,” per its synopsis.

Line of Fire also stars Hope Davis, Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien, Taylor Bloom, and Charlie Barnett. Jenna Bush Hager and Ben Spector are also executive producers. Director Rebecca Thomas is an executive producer on the show’s pilot. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, produces.

Newlyweds

Newlyweds is “a later-in-life love story about a free-spirited woman and a buttoned-up professor who marry impetuously after a whirlwind courtship,” per its logline. 

The comedy from writer and executive producer Gail Lerner stars Téa Leoni and Tim Daly. Jamie Lee Curtis is set as a recurring guest star. 

The show’s executive producers also include Eric and Kim Tannenbaum for The Tannenbaum Company, Jamie Lee Curtis, Scott Schwartz, and Lionsgate Television. Director Pam Fyman executive produced the pilot. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, produces Newlyweds.
