Knowing About Countdown
Countdown centers on a dubious murder committed in broad public. That results in the recruitment of LAPD officer Mark Meachum (Ackles) into a covert task group of undercover agents from all sectors of law enforcement to probe. The squad must transcend their competing personal ambitions to unify and save a city of millions, though, as the truth of a more nefarious conspiracy gets more obvious. Thirteen episodes will make up the first installment.
Though Ackles might perhaps keep making guest appearances on both depending on the timing, it is unknown what the new project implies for his characters on Tracker and The Boys.

Countdown, which Amazon MGM Studios is developing, is being called Ackles' star vehicle.

Though Ackles might perhaps keep making guest appearances on both depending on timing, it's unknown what the new project means for his characters on Tracker and The Boys.
