Deadline is exclusively reporting that Eric Dane is the latest name to join the cast of the upcoming drama thriller series Countdown at Prime Video.

.

Countdown starts following a suspicious murder in broad daylight, which leads to LAPD officer Mark Meachum being recruited to join a secret task force of undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement to investigate. But as the truth of a more sinister plot comes into focuses, the team must overcome their conflicting personal agendas to unite and save a city of millions.

Eric Dane (whose recent credits include Euphoria and Bad Boys: Ride Or Die) will be playing the role of Nathan Blythe, Special Agent in Charge who’s been with the Bureau for twenty-two years. Military cut, trim, fit, and packing an imposing glare, he’s seen a lot in his days on the job, and he has a passion for fighting for justice. Though this isn’t his first task force he’s led, this one is different. He had already been looking into a potential deal going on with a foreign player trying to buy off DHS officers, but was denied when he tried to open an investigation. After Darden’s death, he took matters into his own hands and started going around certain people and keeping things tightly locked, including this opps team. He carefully assembled and handpicked everyone on it and doesn’t hesitate to light a fire under them. He wants this solved by any means necessary.

.

The series, which has received a thirteen-episode order, is the first series to come out of an exclusive overall deal that Derek Haas has signed with Amazon MGM Studios following his exit from Wolf Entertainment. Haas created Countdown and will be serving as executive producer and showrunner.

Eric Dane joins a cast that includes Jensen Ackles and Jessica Camacho.
