With\u00a0Countdown<\/a><\/em>, Prime Video<\/a> has given us another team (task force) of law enforcement officials to watch track down bad guys. The series, created by Derek Haas<\/a> and starring Jensen Ackles<\/a> and Eric Dane<\/a>, follows a task force made up of detectives and agents, brought together to investigate a major threat to Los Angeles. It clearly sounds like it could last for multiple seasons. However, sadly, that will not be the case.<\/p>\n Countdown<\/em> has been canceled after one season, Deadline<\/a> reports, citing total global viewership. That means the series ended on a\u00a0major<\/em> cliffhanger, with Oliveras (Jessica Camacho<\/a>) having been kidnapped by the sniper<\/a> the team was after. He then ordered her to run across a field while he aimed his gun.<\/p>\n Before, we take a look at everything we know about what Countdown<\/em> Season 2 could have looked like.<\/p>\n The cast is led by Jensen Ackles (Meachum), Eric Dane (Blythe), and Jessica Camacho (Oliveras). The series also stars Violett Beane<\/a> (Shepherd), Elliot Knight<\/a> (Bell), and Uli Latukefu<\/a> (Finau). It\u2019s unknown if Camacho would have returned for a full second season; it would have depended on whether or not Oliveras survived.<\/p>\n Countdown<\/em> is created by showrunner and executive producer Derek Haas and produced by Amazon MGM Studios.<\/p>\n In Season 1, when an officer with the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meachum is recruited to a secret task force, alongside undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement, to investigate. But the hunt for the killer soon uncovers a plot far more sinister than anyone could have imagined, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions.<\/p>\n First, it would have had to resolve that major cliffhanger and reveal if Oliveras lived or died.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s going to shoot her. That\u2019s the plan. Will he? We\u2019re going to wait and see. If the dog was a test run and we, the audience, don\u2019t know the end result to that, even though we talked about it, then this is not good for Oliveras\u2019 future,\u201d creator Derek Haas told TV Insider<\/a> after the Season 1 finale.<\/p>\n Haas also shared that he wanted to, like in the first, have multiple cases in the second season \u2014 and more than two. \u201cSo, I don\u2019t want to tell the audience when this would wrap up because I think that was a good shocker on [Episode] 10 and this one, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s easy from here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n As for whether Season 2 could have seen Meachum and Oliveras move past their slow burn and actually get together, \u201cThe discussions I\u2019ve had are that, first, she\u2019s got to survive this. After that, I don\u2019t know, I think it could get super hot or it could not. Depends on what happens with [her boyfriend] Julio,\u201d the creator teased.<\/p>\n Also looking ahead, Haas had planned to see more of Blythe\u2019s family and bring in Meachum\u2019s ex-fianc\u00e9e Melinda Bates and possibly her sister as well.<\/p>\n Jensen Ackles expected to see \u201cMeachum kind of just lose his s**t and go a bit ballistic, which I think will then possibly prove to not just Amber, but also to him, how he holds her,\u201d after that cliffhanger.
