Jensen Ackles’ New Crime Series Claims Top Spot on Prime Video Despite Cancellation Fears

Well Countdown fans, it’s a Wednesday, but there’s no new episode of the high-octane Prime Video series in sight. Sadly, the debut season of the Jensen Ackles-led crime drama tapped out last week after 13 episodes and, with no Season 2 renewal in sight, things are rough out there for the title’s following. But, on the bright side, the show is enjoying a resurgence of sorts on its home streamer, as, according to FlixPatrol, it continues to fight off the competition and claim a spot on Prime Video’s Top 10. And not just any spot, but currently Countdown is laying claim to third place, trailing just behind The Terminal List: Dark Wolf and teen drama, The Summer I Turned Pretty. That’s not too shabby for a project that has hit mixed reviews from critics and celebrated its finale one full week ago.

Jensen Ackles' New Crime Series Claims Top Spot on Prime Video Despite Cancellation Fears

As mentioned, at this time, Prime Video hasn’t made moves to renew the series for a second season, but creator, Derek Haas is already dreaming of what could be. For starters, he’d like to see a crossover that would see Ackles’ Mark Meachum work alongside a fan-favorite actor from Chicago P.D. — a series that the One Chicago franchise creator has been instrumental in getting off the ground. Recently sharing his hopes for what could come to fruition, Haas said that he’d love to bring Lee Soffer on board to join in the fun of the second season — should there be one.

 

Despite initially hitting a rocky road with critics, audiences just haven’t been able to stay away from Ackles’ latest project, which is incredibly promising when it comes to the hopeful renewal. Although he’s been behind the One Chicago franchise, Countdown marked Haas’ first foray into streaming, giving him an entirely new learning curve. Previously speaking about the Season 2 prospects, Haas said:

“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, like, oh, this is doing great, whatever. But I’m excited because it feels like we continue to pick up viewers every week and so that gets me all excited.”
