It’s all the time very thrilling when beloved actors are introduced to star in new initiatives, and doubly so when comparisons will be made. Whereas Supernatural followers are ready forThe Boys‘ huge reunion for its central. trio, hype for Jensen Ackles’ new present Countdown has been constructing. This has been particularly thrilling for followers of his 15-year stint because the demon hunter Dean Winchester, particularly as a result of in keeping with Ackles himself, followers of Supernatural gained’t be upset of his new character.
In an interview, Leisure Weekly spoke with co-creator Derek Haas, Ackles and extra forged members to get a glimpse into Countdown and study what followers can anticipate. Whereas we don’t know a lot in regards to the plot past the preliminary synopsis, Ackles shared that whereas it’s not the very same premise as Supernatural, followers of Dean Winchester gained’t be upset to seek out similarities together with his latest character. As he put it:
There’s in all probability going to be some familiarity from that fandom with this man. It isn’t like I am going so reverse spectrum with this character. He will be a well-recognized style, which is sweet. I like doing that.
Whereas we’re a present nearer to Chicago and 9-1-1, Ackles describes his new character as “rogue L.A. detective, wrong-side-of-the-tracks sort of man”, traditional play by his personal guidelines risk-taker. Which even for folks like me who has scraped the floor of Supernatural, that’s fairly promising in the event you simply swap L.A. detective with demon hunter. As for why the 2 characters are so shut, Ackles had a easy however comprehensible response.
I imply, I performed Dean for 15 years. I liked enjoying that sort of a personality. And I believe this man is within the vein of that, simply with a very totally different set of circumstances.
An announcement that’s fairly comprehensible. If it ‘aint broke, don’t repair it. Contemplating Dean is so beloved, it is smart to convey a number of the most likable features of his persona and character to a brand new venture. And from the seems of it, Ackles isn’t rehashing Dean, simply utilizing a few of him as a leaping off level for his new function. How profitable Ackles can be in Countdown remains to be but to be seen, however hopes are excessive.
From sharing some images on his social media to celebrating filming coming to a detailed in March, Jensen Ackles’ hype practice for Countdown has been fairly regular. Even when we do not know each single element in regards to the new drama simply but, nuggets of recent data resembling BTS on-set pics are serving to to maintain the fires stoked.
Even in these posts, followers are fast to remark that simply seeing Jensen Ackles on set is sufficient to make this present a hypothetical smash hit, with none footage out. So for the sake of followers, I hope that Countdown lives as much as the hype as soon as its out there to stream with an Amazon Prime subscription on June 25, 2025.
