What is Under Fire about?
East Bank Station is the setting for our story. We learn early on that the fire department is supposed to be the best in the country. Unfortunately, the firm has a bad public image so a new social media liaison is brought on to try and change that. Furthermore, Captain Patrick - the current lieutenant - is promoted up to Lieutenant, leaving the position open to rookie Dominique. ..
Orlando and first-in-command, Toni Morrison, have a rocky start to their relationship. They differ on how best to deal with incidents in the city and eventually clash over their values.
Complicating matters further are the supporting players, although to be fair each firefighter has a chance to take the spotlight over the 10 episodes. There’s Nina, a brave and determined firefighter who’s plagued with issues at home. These involve fellow firefighter Steve, who has a drinking problem and hasn’t been showing up at work. This really takes on a dramatic turn around the middle of the series, and Steve’s presence is a constant thorn in the side of East Bank for most of the run-time. ..
There are several characters in “East of Eden” who have their own motivations and conflicts. Vincent, for example, has a rivalry with Orlando centered around an assistant exam Dominique suggests Vincent take. Gio starts off as abrupt and cocky before being faced with some harrowing choices, while Tom – the new guy at East Bank – has more than a few secrets lurking away in his past. ..

Has Under Fire been renewed for season 2?
Netflix has not renewed Under Fire for a second season. This is likely because the show’s format, which is based on a true story, does not lend itself to a second season. If Under Fire does well for Netflix, it may be given another chance.
Netflix has a policy of renewing shows only if they believe that the show is performing well and there is no drop-off in viewership.
Netflix has a lot of shows that are cancelled or renewed quickly, but also some that take months to decide on.
The show has had mixed reviews so far, but ultimately it’s a soap opera that could easily run for another season.
We predict that Under Fire will not be renewed for a second season. There’s definitely potential here but given how crowded this field is, it’ll be surprising to see this one return.
We’ll be sure to keep this section updated with accurate information over the coming weeks and months, as we learn more.
What we know about season 2 so far:
There is currently no word on whether or not a sequel to Stranger Things will be green-lit by Netflix. This could change depending on the ending of the series, as it opens up the possibility for a follow-up. ..
If this one is renewed, we could well see the firefighters return with more drama. Orlando may also return to work too. For now though, it’s way too early to be casting judgments over what may happen. ..
We’ll be sure to keep this page updated as more information is released.
