Now that the whole first season of Countdown is out, it’s time to stay up for, hopefully, a second. (Prime Video has but to resume the drama.) And when TV Insider spoke with creator Derek Haas about that wild finale, we needed to convey up one other one in all his reveals, FBI: Worldwide, and the way a lot of a bummer it’s that it was canceled after 4 seasons.
“I used to be, too,” the present’s co-creator (he left after the second season) admitted. “It was actually enjoyable making it.”
However he did get to revisit his earlier present whereas engaged on his present one, he shared. “Now the cool factor that I bought to do is after we did the Europe scenes for Countdown, we shot in Budapest, and I bought to go hang around with all of the Worldwide individuals,” he stated. That occurred to coincide with when Jesse Lee Soffer, who took over as group boss after Luke Kleintank left, was there. “I knew [him] very well from Chicago P.D., so we bought to have a pleasant — I bought to have a little bit little bit of closure earlier than that shut down, however I don’t know why. You by no means know this stuff. It’s just like the powers that be make these selections. I beloved the present, too. I believed it was actually enjoyable and funky present.”
Once we introduced up Haas bringing Soffer over to Countdown, he instantly replied, “Imagine me, that’s crossed my thoughts. I don’t know that we are able to get him, however that may be actually enjoyable. I assume he was an Military Ranger additionally, and it’s like possibly he and Meachum [Jensen Ackles] have been in the identical unit. It was like a Halstead Meachum reunion. That sounds superior. Crossover!”
Whether or not it’s Soffer as somebody or one other character, every new persona of the duty power makes for dynamic scenes. Haas agreed.
“I discovered that doing the Chicago reveals. Anytime you usher in any person new, you get a complete new dynamic shift within the traits of the group. I at all times beloved that on Chicago Hearth,” he stated. “I take into consideration Stella Kidd [Miranda Rae Mayo] on that present. She got here in Season 3, now she’s the star, entrance of the poster of that present. So it simply appears like we’ve bought worlds that we might nonetheless discover on this one. So fingers crossed.
