Kyle McMahon (@KylemcmahonMe ) sits down with Countdown stars Jensen Ackles (The Boys, Supernatural) @itsjensenackles and Eric Dane (Euphoria, Grey’s Anatomy) for an exclusive interview about their thrilling new hit series that’s got fans buzzing all around the world.

They dive into why Countdown isn’t just another action drama - it’s fast-paced, emotionally grounded, and full of edge-of-your-seat tension. The guys talk about the vulnerability of their characters, the heart of the story, and why the show’s creator Derek Haas (Chicago Fire, FBI: International) has plenty more stories up his sleeve.

Think 24 meets modern character-driven storytelling - and both Jensen and Eric agree: there’s room for many more seasons.
