Our Take On The Countdown Images & Premiere Date
It Should Hold Jensen Ackles Fans Over Until The Boys Season 5
ThoughCountdownsounds incredibly generic and may never elevate itself beyond a run-of-the-mill action drama, it should appeal to fans of Jensen Ackles. For those who have followed him fromSupernaturaltoThe Boys,Countdownshould provide enough explosive action anchored by Ackles' charisma to keep audiences invested. If nothing else, by premiering this summer,Countdownis perfectly positioned to hold Ackles' fans over untilThe Boysseason 5premieres sometime in 2026.
