'Countdown' Creator Breaks Down That Jensen Ackles Premiere Twist (Exclusive) ...Saudi Arabia

News by : (Parade) -

The body count is not as much of a surprise. Countdown was inspired by ‘80s action movies like Lethal Weapon and Die Hard, so we expect to see the bad guys die. But on Countdown, it’s some of the good guys as well.

“Those movies where you lean in at the edge of the seat, but everybody was clever and having fun, that was the vibe inspiration,” he tells Parade in an exclusive interview.

“It’s like an all-star team with people from different organizations, different agencies who have to all come together and stop some major event from happening,” Haas continues. “Then I started reading books on task forces. The more I read, the more fascinated I got.”

So, that’s where the idea for Countdown was born. In this instance, the task force is convened to investigate Darden’s death. But the hunt for the killer soon uncovers a far more sinister terrorist plot than anyone could have imagined, kicking off a race against time to save Los Angeles.

“What I thought would be interesting for the title of the show is that you’ve got a countdown where everyone that watches the trailer and sees the poster, or sees the billboard, they’re going to think the countdown is the countdown of the big event that’s happening,” Haas explains. “I thought what would make it interesting was if there was an internal countdown going on with our main character.

That said, Ackles was cast in the role early on. So when Haas was writing the series – he wrote all 13 episodes – he had met the Supernatural star, being very familiar with him and his work.
