The development of the forthcoming Prime Video series Countdown has received a significant upgrade. An LAPD officer who must join a special, top-secret task team to look into a suspicious murder is the protagonist of the new thriller series. He comes into a sinister scheme along the road, which compels him and his group to cooperate in order to rescue their city. Derek Haas is the creator of Countdown, which stars Uli Latukefu, Eric Dane, Violett Beane, Eric Camacho, and Jensen Ackles in the key roles.
Star of the television show Dane gave an update on Countdown’s filming progress in an interview with Interview Magazine. The actor disclosed that Countdown filming will begin in September. Along with complimenting the ensemble, Dane said that the Countdown team has assembled “really good actors” who are also “good people.” This information was appreciated by the actor, who said he has “worked with some scoundrels, and it’s not fun.” See Dane’s whole statement below:
“Yeah, I’m starting a show in September called Countdown for Amazon. It’s a very cool concept. The cast that’s been established so far has been like, “I get where their heads are at.” They’re getting really good actors. And from what I understand, good people. You spend 15 hours on a set with somebody, let’s make sure they’re up t
Countdown Is Part Of Jensen Ackles’ TV Career Resurgence
Ackles Has A Busy Schedule Ahead That Includes The Boys Season 5.
The filming update is promising for the Prime Video series, as it indicates that progress is moving along fairly swiftly for Countdown. The series was just announced at the beginning of June of this year, revealing Ackles’ starring status and the basic plot information. Since then, other casting information has been unveiled, including Dane and Camacho as the female lead. With filming beginning in September, Countdown seems to have made quick progress so far, indicating that the show could be arriving in the first half of 2025.
The ending of Supernatural marked a dramatic change in Ackles’ career, but it luckily did not amount to him slowing down.
The show’s swift progress is also great news for Ackles. Though he has been in the industry since he was a teenager, the actor is best known for playing Dean Winchester on the hit CW series Supernatural, which ran from 2005 to 2020. The ending of Supernatural marked a dramatic change in Ackles’ career, but it luckily did not amount to him slowing down. Since then, Ackles’ TV appearances include Big Sky, Tracker, and the Supernatural spinoff series The Winchesters.
Another key role for Ackles is playing Soldier Boy, whom he is set to reprise in The Boys season 5 after the season 4 ending indicated his upcoming return. Like The Boys, Countdown is also a Prime Video show, allowing Ackles to continue developing his relationship with the major streamer. Whether the actor continues more Prime Video shows or not, his new thriller series will hopefully help to re-cement Ackles as a major TV talent.
