Explosions, undercover agents and a race against time—Countdown is bringing cinematic-level action to the screen.
The new action-thriller series, created by One Chicago and FBI mastermind Derek Haas, follows a team of elite law enforcement officers brought together to solve a high-profile murder. But what starts as a single case quickly unravels into a much larger threat to the city of Los Angeles.

“It is a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat action thriller,” Jessica Camacho said, who plays a DEA agent in the series.
The cast, which includes several well-known names, brings more than just star power to the screen.
“The vibe on set was like going to summer camp every day,” Camacho and Violett Beane recalled. “We had dance-offs, karaoke nights, darts, chess—you name it. And somehow, in between all that, we filmed these really intense scenes.”
As the series builds toward its finale, fans should brace for surprises.
“Expect the unexpected,” they teased. “Anything can happen—and does.”
Asked to sum up the show in three words, the cast landed on: “sultry, gritty, exciting.”
New episodes of Countdown air weekly on Prime Video.
