Quick little update on set. We are well on our way here and having a blast. — Jensen Ackles.
Jensen Ackles shared an update from the Los Angeles set of his new Prime Video series Countdown.
Countdown kicks off following a suspicious murder in broad daylight, which leads to LAPD officer Mark Meachum (Jensen Ackles) being recruited to join a secret task force of undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement to investigate. But as the truth of a more sinister plot comes into focus, the team must overcome their conflicting personal agendas to unite and save a city of millions.
The new task force of undercover agents.
Jensen Ackles is LAPD officer Mark Meachum.
Jessica Camacho is Amber Oliveras, Special Agent, Drug Enforcement Agency with 14 years on the job. Undercover in multiple operations.
Eric Dane is Nathan Blythe, Special Agent in Charge who’s been with the Bureau for 22 years.
How in demand is Jensen Ackles?
The Supernatural and The Boys star flew up to Vancouver in July for three days to guest-star again as Colter Shaw’s brother Russell on Tracker starring Justin Hartley.
Ackles may return to Tracker for another episode later in season 2 if he can fit it into his very busy schedule.
Production on Countdown in L.A. started in early September and isn’t expected to wrap until mid-February next year.
Meanwhile, Jensen Ackles’s Soldier Boy is a series regular in the fifth and final season of The Boys, which starts production in Toronto next week. Can Ackles be in two places at once?
Then after The Boys wraps, Ackles will star as Soldier Boy and Aya Cash as Clara Vought in the new The Boys prequel series Vought Rising set in the 1950s, which is expected to go into production next summer in Toronto.
