The new Prime Video series Countdown released its first three episodes on 25th June 2025. Created by Derek Haas, the show stars Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles as Mark Meachum, a detective who is pulled into a secret task force, which has been formed to catch a killer.

As the story continues, the group faces a much larger threat, leading to a dangerous mission that has to go right because there's much more at stake.

The show has been a success till now, and Derek Haas has opened up in a recent interview with ScreenRant about the possibility of season 2, and the news is hopeful.

Countdown season 2 update from Derek Haas

Countdown has the following logline on Prime Video:

When an officer with the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meachum 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.

The show stars an ensemble cast that includes Jensen Ackles as Mark Meachum, Jessica Camacho as Amber Oliveras, Eric Dane as Nathan Blythe, Uli Latukefu as Lucas Finau, Violett Beane as Evan Shepherd, and Elliot Knight as Keyonte Bell.

In an interview with ScreenRant, Derek Haas shared that he has been thinking about what a second season might look like. Though he seems hopeful, he’s being cautious about making serious plans. He said to ScreenRant,

“Oh yeah. I've been thinking about season 2. The truth is, you don't want to get too far ahead, because the real world rears its head, and then you want to be able to be in the moment of what's happening in the world when you're doing a show like this. So I've definitely been thinking about plots for season 2, but I'm not past that.”

While season two is not confirmed, it'll be a success if it does happen. Neither Haas nor Ackles is a stranger to television success. Haas has created hit shows like Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and FBI: International. Jensen Ackles is also widely popular for his performance as Dean Winchester on Supernatural and as Soldier Boy in The Boys.

Given that both the creator and the main lead are successful in their fields, fans would appreciate a second season, and it'll most likely be a hit.

Countdown shares some similarities with other Prime Video hits like Reacher and can have an equally devoted fanbase. Shows like Reacher are usually renewed for multiple seasons, thanks to their story and fan base. Thus, if Countdown does receive good viewership, it could get renewed for season two as well.

For now, Season 2 is still in the early phase of discussions. Haas is thinking about ideas but is, at the same time, waiting to see how audiences respond. Hence, there's no confirmation for a season two yet.

The first three episodes of Countdown are streaming on Prime Video.
