Move over, Dean Winchester—Jensen Ackles has a new badge, a new mission, and zero patience for supernatural shenanigans. Amazon Prime’s Countdown (premiering June 25) is a high-octane thriller where the only thing deadlier than the conspiracy is Ackles’ smolder.
What’s Countdown About?
- A Cop With a Deadline: When a Homeland Security agent is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meacham (Ackles) joins a secret task force (because regular cops aren’t dramatic enough).
- Conspiracy Theory Bingo: The killer? Just the tip of the iceberg. The real plot threatens millions—so expect car chases, shady politicians, and Ackles delivering lines like, “We’re out of time.” (Spoiler: They’re always out of time.)
- The Supernatural to The Boys Pipeline: Fresh off playing Soldier Boy, Ackles reunites with Amazon Prime. Coincidence? Or does Jeff Bezos just really love his jawline?
Why You’ll Binge It
- A-List Team-Up: Ackles stars alongside Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy), Jessica Camacho (All Rise), and Violett Beane (The Flash). It’s like a CW reunion, but with more grenades.
- Behind the Scenes: Showrunner Haas (FBI, One Chicago) guarantees explosions per minute and at least one morally ambiguous government suit.
- Easter Eggs for Supernatural Fans: Rumor has it Ackles’ LAPD locker has a «Driver Picks the Music» sticker. (Unconfirmed, but it should.)
Release Schedule
- June 25: First 3 episodes drop.
- Weekly after that, because Amazon loves a cliffhanger.
- Finale on September 3—just in time for Ackles to return to The Boys and cause more chaos.
Ackles’ Amazon Era
From hunting demons (Supernatural) to playing one (The Boys’ Soldier Boy) to now saving L.A., Jensen’s career is a trinity of badassery. As Countdown’s Meacham, he’s basically Jack Bauer with better hair.
Mark your calendars—this is not a drill.

Final Verdict
Countdown looks like *24* meets Training Day, with Ackles doing what he does best: saving the day while looking unfairly cool. Will the conspiracy unravel before the timer hits zero? (Spoiler: Yes, but not without casualties.)
Premieres June 25 on Amazon Prime Video.
P.S. If Ackles’ character doesn’t say “We’ve got work to do,” we riot. 🚨
