Only four episodes remain in the first season of Jensen Ackles' new crime thriller show, which has been in the Prime Video top 10 consistently since its release. However, the recent release of War of the Worlds, the critically maligned alien sci-fi film that currently sits at a 3% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, has sent it further down streaming charts. Countdown has previously been hovering in the #3 spot, behind The Summer I Turned Pretty and Ballard, but it has now also dropped behind War of the Worlds. However, it will likely overtake the Ice Cube-led disaster before its final as it continues to air new episodes. Countdown has also not been a darling among critics — the show sits at a 38% on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience-driven Popcornmeter, though, has settled at a solid 73%.

Ackles may be the biggest star in Countdown, but the show also features plenty of other notable names to tell its story,...

With each new action thriller series, Amazon is no doubt chasing that Reacher dragon. While the latest attempt did not quite reach the same heights as the adventures of Alan Ritchson’s nomadic avenger (and even proved to be deeply divisive among critics and audiences), Prime Video’s newest action hero has a bright future ahead of him, according to the show’s creator.

Derek Haas, the creator and writer behind this year’s Countdown, has declared his hopes and excitement over the future of the action series, which finds Supernatural and The Boys star Jensen Ackles leading the way as a maverick undercover LAPD officer who finds himself at the center of a dark conspiracy. And the clock is ticking.

“I’m feeling good. I haven’t done streaming before, so kind of all of the analytics are new. It’s different from when I was doing network and you knew the next morning,...

Faly Rakotohavana (Unprisoned), Ava Jean (Law & Order: Svu), Severance‘s Sarah Bock, Daniel Di Tomasso (CSI: Vegas) and Frasier star Jack Cutmore-Scott have been cast as series regulars opposite Ryan Kiera Armstrong and Sarah Michelle Gellar in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, which has a pilot order at Hulu.

Armstrong plays the new slayer — an introverted high-school student named Nova — in the untitled Buffyverse project, which Gellar executive produces in addition to reprising her signature role as Buffy Summers.

Rakotohavana will play Hugo, a privileged, likable high-school student who is a geek. Jean will play Larkin, another student described as a “chronic do-gooder.” Bock will play Gracie, the ringleader for a group of church-going students. Di Tomasso will play Abe, Nova’s single father who is a photojournalist. Scott will play Mr. Burke, a popular high school teacher.

Oscar winner Chloé Zhao is directing the pilot, written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman.

Gather around and join the team behind Prime Video’s latest series, Countdown, as they receive a debriefing from their leader — Eric Dane’s FBI Special Agent Nathan Blythe. Today, Collider is excited to share an exclusive sneak peek at this week’s upcoming episode of the streamer’s latest hit. Titled “Blurred Edges,” Wednesday’s release marks the fifth installment of the debut season, which means we’re just about halfway through. Starring Jensen Ackles, Jessica Camacho (Sleepy Hollow), Elliott Knight (Titans), Uli Latukefu (Young Rock) and Violett Beane (Death and Other Details), the production centers on a ragtag group of special agents who have been brought together to assemble a super team to ensure a murderer is brought to justice.

The plot is getting thicker and thicker in our exclusive first look, as Dane’s Special Agent Blythe brings his team together to catch them up on the intel gathered so far.

Exclusive: Chris Witaske (The Bear), Christine Horn (Classified), and Sophia Reid-Gantzert (Death and Other Details) have joined Netflix‘s Bert Kreischer comedy Free Bert in recurring roles.

Character details are under wraps. Stand-up comedian Kreischer co-created, exec produces and stars as himself — shirtless comedian, party legend, perpetual wildcard — in Free Bert, where he finds himself in uncharted territory when his daughters are accepted to an elite Beverly Hills private school. When his unbridled antics turn his family into outcasts, he decides to “put on a shirt” and stifle his true nature to better fit in.

As previously announced, Arden Myrin also stars in the six-episode series, along with newcomers Ava Ryan and Lilou Lang, with Mandell Maughan aboard in a recurring role. In addition to Kreischer, the show is co-created and exec produced by Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel, who serve as writers, directors and showrunners.

As audiences await several more years for Robert Pattinson to return as the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves' The Batman, the Dcu will soon introduce a brand-new version of the iconic superhero. James Gunn has been adamant that a new actor will join his rebooted universe in Brave and the Bold, and while an actor has not been chosen, Reacher star Alan Ritchson has been a fan-favorite choice. However, another recent Amazon action hero has joined the conversation, and he has a history of playing Batman-related DC characters.

During an interview with Collider, Countdown star Jensen Ackles talked about possibly joining the Dcu to take on the iconic mantle of Batman. He puts his hat in the casting ring, stating that he would attempt to bring something "truly unique" to his version of the character, which has received numerous live-action interpretations in the past few decades. Ackles previously voiced Jason Todd...

Monday night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jensen Ackles made his Tonight Show debut to promote his new action-packed series, Countdown. During his appearance, he assured everybody that the show is a bit of a throwback. His new series is designed to give you the same nostalgic feel of movies and TV shows like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and The A-Team. Here’s what you need to know about the Days of Our Lives alum’s Prime Video thriller.

The Countdown is Up

Here’s what you need to know about Prime Video’s Countdown:

Synopsis

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

Jensen Ackles will be soon back on screens as Soldier Boy in both The Boys and its prequel series, Vought Rising, but before that he will be playing a very different role in Countdown, the Prime Video crime drama debuting on June 25, 2025. Ahead of its release, critics have been having their say on the show, which it turns out is as divided as it possibly could be.

Ackles has become incredibly popular from his roles in Supernatural and The Boys among other things, and his fans are always happy to welcome a new project led by the star. While viewers may be pleased with Countdown when it arrives on Prime Video on Wednesday, of the six critics to have reviewed the series, there is a 50/50 split in opinion over whether it is worth a watch or not. First up, the synopsis of the series reads:

“When an officer with the...

Whether you know him from Grey’s Anatomy, Euphoria, or something completely different, Eric Dane has made his way onto living room television sets and cinematic screens throughout the course of his fruitful career. Sadly, the actor recently revealed that he had been diagnosed with Als, telling Good Morning America’s Diane Sawyer that the disease had left him with “one functioning arm.” With his ailment in mind, audiences are wondering how much he’ll be able to do in the future, specifically when it comes to his newest series, Countdown, which premieres on Prime Video on June 25. Although it has yet to receive a Season 2 renewal, there’s a good chance that, with the dynamite cast that also includes Jensen Ackles and Jessica Camacho, and the story from creator and showrunner Derek Haas, the studio will be ordering more episodes.

While speaking with Parade about his latest foray into television,...

Currently available on Digital, Hell of a Summer will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on July 8 via Neon.

The trailer for Jensen Ackles’s upcoming Prime Video series Countdown has been out for 24 hours, and it already has over 1.6 million views on YouTube (and counting). Ackles, who played the original Eric Brady on Days of Our Lives, steps into the lead, and from the looks of it, his new character has the ability to get into a lot of trouble and out of a lot of tight spots.

The Countdown Has Started

The Supernatural and The Boys actor plays Mark Meachum, an LAPD Detective with a bit of a death wish. After the death of a Homeland Security Agent, Meachum is recruited for a secret task force consisting of undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement. According to a Prime Video press release, “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.

Countdown, the latest action thriller series from Prime Video, just got an exciting first trailer that puts The Boys star Jensen Ackles in charge of an operation to stop an attack that will wipe out millions in California. The upcoming series will begin streaming on Prime Video starting Jun. 25.

In the action-packed footage for Countdown, Ackles plays LAPD detective Mark Meachum, who is recruited into a top-secret task force entrusted with a mission to help stop a "Chernobyl" level event from happening in California. The 13-episode series will premiere the first three installments on Jun. 25, before airing the rest of the season weekly until Sept. 3. In addition to Ackles, the cast features Eric Dane (Euphoria), Jessica Camacho (The Flash), Violett Beane (Death and Other Details), Elliot Knight (The Boys), and Uli Latukefu (Young Rock).

Behind the scenes, Countdown was created by Derek Haas,...

Get ready because Jensen Ackles and the cast of Prime Video’s Countdown go above and beyond the call of duty to bring the noise in an explosive trailer for the latest series created by Derek Haas (executive producer of One Chicago and FBI franchises). Today’s Countdown trailer has everything you need for an addictive crime drama, including clever banter, hardened criminals, high stakes, and “action star exits” from exploding cars that look ripped from an ’80s action blockbuster.

Here’s the official synopsis for Countdown courtesy of Prime Video:

When an officer with the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meachum, portrayed by Ackles, is recruited to a secret task force, alongside undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement, to investigate.

Prime Video’s trailer for Countdown reveals there’s an extinction-level event planned and not much time to stop it. The trailer also confirms that although the clock’s ticking, Jensen Ackles’ character will have time to drop witty lines and add some humor to the situation.

The series, created by Derek Haas (FBI), stars Ackles, Eric Dane (Euphoria), and Jessica Camacho (The Flash). Violett Beane (Death and Other Details), Elliot Knight (The Boys), and Uli Latukefu (Young Rock) also star in season one. Haas is the showrunner and executive produces.

There's been some fan-favorite shows to come out of 2024 on the many streamers and networks we've got, including Hulu and FX. But of course, there's also going to be ones that aren't as enjoyable and we feel like shouldn't have happened. It's normal with so many options and so many shows produced, there's going to be some bad apples, as they say. Here's 4 Hulu and FX shows from 2024 that didn't meet our expectations.

The Veil

While Elisabeth Moss has absolutely shined in The Handmaid's Tale over the years and also taken on some impressive roles, unfortunately The Veil on Hulu just wasn't entertaining for me. The actress herself was great as always. However when it comes to the story, no thank you. The show is marketed as a spy thriller and that's what the promotion focuses on. However, if you're going in thinking you're going to mostly see action and chases,...

Just in time for Halloween, a trailer for the BuzzFeed Studios-produced comedy thriller F Marry Kill made its way online (you can watch it in the embed above), and at that time the film was set to receive a digital, VOD, and limited theatrical release on December 6th. Since then, the release was pushed back to sometime in March in an effort to align the domestic release with its international roll-out… but some of the PVOD platforms didn’t get the message. As Deadline reports, F Marry Kill reached some digital stores and PVOD on December 6th, then disappeared a few hours later. So if you managed to catch the movie during that brief window last Friday – congratulations, you got a special sneak peek! If you didn’t catch it, there’s still three months left to wait for it.
