Los Angeles, CA – Amazon Prime Video has released the first trailer for its upcoming thriller series, “Countdown.” The series stars Jensen Ackles as LAPD detective Mark Meachum, who is recruited into an elite task force to thwart a large-scale terror attack in Los Angeles.

The trailer shows Meachum’s immediate response after an officer from the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in public. His recruitment to the secret task force leads him and other undercover agents on a dangerous hunt, revealing a deeper conspiracy.

“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,” according to the official logline for the show. The series will premiere with its first three episodes on June 25, with additional episodes released weekly until the season finale on September 3.

In addition to Ackles, the cast features Eric Dane, Jessica Camacho, Violett Beane, Elliot Knight, and Uli Latukefu. The show is created by Derek Haas, who serves as showrunner and executive producer, with production by Amazon MGM Studios.

Ackles, who was announced as the lead in 2024, continues his collaboration with Amazon after his role as Soldier Boy in the popular series “The Boys” and the upcoming prequel “Vought Rising.” His production company, Chaos Machine, is currently under a first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios.
