Prime Video just dropped an exhilarating trailer for its new crime thriller show — and it looks like an explosive summer watch
Prime Video has just released the trailer for "Countdown", the Amazon streaming service's newest crime drama — and it looks perfect for anyone looking for a dose of adrenaline-pumping action that'll liven up our summer. Created by Derek Haas (exec producer for "One Chicago" and the "FBI" franchises), "Countdown" was billed as an "action-packed" series when we got our first look at the show. Judging by this trailer, it looks like Prime Video wasn't kidding, either. Check it out below: The stakes for this new mission are certainly very high. Early on, Eric Dane's Nathan Blythe briefs the team that a foreign party is planning "a Chernobyl-level event here in Los Angeles," and later you'll hear a voice say, "one mistake and we're dead." Aside from a few joke lines, the trailer very much sells those stakes, too; this trailer's practically all-out action from the jump. There are snippets of buildings being cleared, hand-to-hand brawls, shootouts, and chases, and it all culminates in Ackles flipping a thumbs-up before leaping, mid-pursuit, from a caravan being towed by a speeding truck. In other words, if you like your streaming shows with a bit of high-octane fun involved, "Countdown" looks like it belongs on your watchlist. You don't have to wait too long to stream it, either: Prime Video is giving the series a three-episode premiere on Wednesday, June 25. It also sounds like "Countdown" will run a little longer than your average streaming show, too; new episodes will premiere on a weekly basis, and Prime's confirmed the series' "exhilarating" season finale will drop on Wednesday, September 3. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Along with the above trailer, Prime Video has released a "Countdown" synopsis, which gives us a pretty clear picture of what to expect from the new show. It reads: "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, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions." In addition to Ackles, "Countdown" also stars Eric Dane, Jessica Camacho, Violett Beane, Elliot Knight, and Uli Latukefu. Looking for something new to stream while you wait for "Countdown" to arrive?

Jensen Ackles goes full action star in first 'Countdown' trailer
"If I'm going out, I'm going out saving something." Mark Meachum is sounding a lot like Dean Winchester right now. In the first trailer for Countdown, Prime Video's new series from One Chicago's Derek Haas, Jensen Ackles' Mark Meachum is seen joining a task force put together by Eric Dane's Nathan Blythe. "You are the best or I would not have selected you," Blythe tells his team, which also includes Luke Finau (Uli Latukefu), Evan Shepherd (Violett Beane), Keyonte Bell (Elliot Knight), and Amber Oliveras (Jessica Camacho). As the team talks about bombs going off in their faces and working to stop a weapon of mass destruction, it's revealed that whatever the task force is doing, they're trying to stop a "Chernobyl-level event" from occurring in Los Angeles. The series' official description reads: "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, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions." As showrunner Haas previously told Entertainment Weekly, "Putting this disparate group together and then emphasizing different strengths is what makes the show. And watching as they come together as a team. I think that's what the viewers are going to find really interesting."Ackles, best known for playing Dean Winchester across 15 seasons of Supernatural, is no stranger to action, though even Dean would be impressed with some of the shots of him walking away from exploding vehicles or ... standing on top of moving ones. As Ackles told EW, "I actually just did some ADR the other day for an action sequence. I was watching it and I was like, 'Oh, I'm getting my Tom Cruise on here. This is some full-on action stuff.'" Watch all of the action unfold in the trailer above. Countdown premieres Wednesday, June 25 on Prime Video with the first three episodes before switching to a weekly rollout.
