Line of Fire is NBC’s new family action-thriller series starring Peter Krause, Hope Davis, Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien, and Taylor Bloom. Created by Joshua Safran, the show follows the Hollingsworth family, whose members work across the FBI, U.S. Marshals, Secret Service, and Department of Justice.
The series premiered on September 21, 2026, and its tone leans on tension and family drama in equal measure. That balance carries over into the score, composed by a duo making their first joint lead-scoring effort together.

Line of Fire Soundtrack Overview
The show’s music is being handled in-house for broadcast, in the way most NBC dramas score on an episode-by-episode basis before any commercial release is considered.
Ariel Rechtshaid and Will Canzoneri are credited together as the composing team. This is not their first time working on the same project — both previously contributed music to the HBO Max Gossip Girl reboot and Disney+’s The Santa Clauses, giving them an established creative shorthand heading into this series.
Who Composed the Line of Fire Soundtrack?
Ariel Rechtshaid
Ariel Rechtshaid is primarily known as a Grammy-winning record producer and songwriter, not a traditional film composer. His production and writing work spans HAIM, Vampire Weekend, Madonna, Usher, Adele, Charli XCX, and Solange Knowles, among many others.
He has won three Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Music Album for Vampire Weekend’s Modern Vampires of the City (2014), Album of the Year for Adele’s 25 (2017), and Best Alternative Music Album again for Vampire Weekend’s Father of the Bride (2020).
On screen, Rechtshaid previously scored the 2021 Gossip Girl reboot for HBO Max, where he first worked with Line of Fire creator Joshua Safran. He also scored Disney+’s The Santa Clauses before joining Line of Fire.
Will Canzoneri
Will Canzoneri works in film and TV music, straddling composing and music department roles. He served in the music department on Uncle Drew (2018), the HBO Max Gossip Girl reboot (2021), and Netflix’s Do Revenge (2022), and contributed additional music to Disney+’s The Santa Clauses (2022–2023).
More recently, Canzoneri stepped into a full composing role, scoring the 2025 indie feature On a String and the 2025 short film Memory Room. Line of Fire marks his first major broadcast-network drama as a credited composer alongside Rechtshaid.
