Jensen Ackles & Eric Dane Race To Prevent “Chernobyl-Level Event” In L.A. In First ‘Countdown’ Trailer

It’s a race against time in Countdown as Jensen Ackles, Eric Dane and Jessica Camacho try to stop a high-stakes terror threat in Los Angeles in the first trailer for the Prime Video action drama series from Derek Haas.

“I was just checking to see how you were after that bomb went off in our face last night,” says Ackles’ Mark Meachum to Camacho’s Amber Oliveras as the trailer opens. Cue to a massive car bomb explosion. “Ready to rock,” replies a confident Amber.

Created by Haas, in Countdown, when an officer with the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meachum (Ackles), is recruited to a secret task force, alongside undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement, to investigate. But the hunt for the killer soon uncovers a plot far more sinister than anyone could have imagined, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions.

In addition to Ackles, Dane and Camacho, the series also stars Violett Beane, Elliot Knight and Uli Latukefu.

Countdown is created by showrunner and EP Haas and produced by Amazon MGM Studios. 

As previously announced, the series will launch with its first three episodes on June 25. New episodes will follow weekly, leading up to the season finale on Sept. 3
