Prime Video Cancels Jensen Ackles’ ‘Countdown’

Share

Prime Video has announced that they’ve canceled Countdown, starring Jensen Ackles, after one season, Deadline reports.

The move from Prime Video comes as a surprise, as the show was consistently drawing good numbers, often at the top of Prime Video’s “top series” of the day.

Countdown followed Mark Meachum (Ackles), an LAPD detective who became part of a team that was investigating the murder of a Homeland Security officer. Countdown also starred Jessica Camacho, Violett Beane, Elliot Knight, Uli Latukefu, and Eric Dane.

Ackles can be seen next in Prime Video’s The Boys, as well as he’s currently filming The Boys prequel Vought Rising.
