Countdown Episode 8: Release date news, time, streaming details and more 

Countdown Episode 8 will premiere this week on Wednesday, following the usual release schedule as Prime Video gears up to bring another round of intense drama filled with action. The Jensen Ackles thriller is currently one of the top trending spots on the streaming platform as the plot approaches the climax gradually.

In last week's episode, we saw Mark Meachum opening up to Detective Oliveras about his terminal illness. On the other hand, Nathan Blythe's task force, with several misses, needs to do even better to catch Volchek before he does something unimaginable and irreversible.

Moreover, Volchek almost gets nabbed by the security forces of the Belarusian Consultae, but his presence of mind helps him escape once again - one more deadly explosion in Sherman Oaks leaves three dead. How things further unfold is a major point of discussion right now. Read this article to find out more about Countdown Episode 8.

What to expect from Countdown Episode 8?

The Countdown Episode 8 preview reveals that the stakes are even higher this time as the task force comes across an extremely fatal explosion in Sherman Oaks (seen at the end of Countdown Episode 7). Nathan Blythe and his team are seen speculating the same as a robbery-explosion.

Mark Meachum wonders whether it is an "accident or homicide" as the local officers investigate the three bodies at the crime scene. The antagonistic 'lone wolf' seems to have gone to extremes as Nathan Blythe's dialogue goes in the Countdown Episode 8 preview:

"We have a violent extremist in possession of three 40-ton tractor trailers with enough fissile material to inflict maximum damage on any city in America."
