5. As soon as I know anything, you'll know! Maybe you'll know before me. I'm gonna stay optimistic. If it doesn't happen, I guess I'll have to write a novella so you'll have closure. But fingers crossed... let's get some more Countdown.
When we can expect to hear about S2?

Oh man I was just trying to enjoy some golf and I mentioned to Jensen that you might not watch the season finale of Countdown tomorrow and he just...

Bonus 2. Looking for different flavors... mainly talking to tech advisors about various task forces and what types of threats/cases they investigate and then choosing a path from there that sounds interesting to me.
How/why did you decide to go from a bomb threat to a sniper for the next villain? 🧐

It's Wednesday. These two didn't go through all that training for you not to tune in to this week's Countdown.

If you watch this anxiety-inducing episode 9, then I will answer five questions on Sunday.

Don't do it for me. Do it for Meachum and Oliveras.

Jensen Ackles is back with another one! As Det. Mark Meachum, he’s part of a task force trying to keep L.A. safe on #Countdown. Dive into how the cast developed their bond and the rules Ackles lives by as an actor in our latest cover from the set of his new Prime Video series. bit.ly/4lwMh1i

5. I didn't do a bible... just had some character sketches and boarded the season before I started writing. My guy JP Meier did a great job of being sort of the human bible of the show and keeping any important facts in his head so we could say "oh yeah, we already covered that."
Hey! What a cool privilege. Did you write a bible for Countdown and if so what did you find worthwhile to include, or not, as the episodes accumulated? Maybe more than one such document was needed? Thank you, Derek.

4. They all influenced their characters as we went along. They are a really upbeat, funny, fun, up-for-anything cast and I'm sure their characters reflect that more and more as the series progresses.
Did any of the actors portray their character in a way that it significantly changed the way you saw/wrote them going forward? If so, who/how?

3. I think so but I don't know all 327 episodes like the back of my hand. (That episode "The Monster At The End of This Book" was awesome... I know that.)

2. We don't have any of Jensen's original music on the show because it would be weird to have Mark Meachum running around while Jensen Ackles is singing over it. But he had some cool ideas for some bands that did make it into episodes. The last song in episode 12 was his idea.
Will we hear some of Jensen music on the show?

1. Excellent question. The most difficult to write is a tie between the first one... always hard to get a series going with a combo of character introductions plus plot plus twists... the other one that was hard to write is 10 for reasons you will understand in a month or so. 😬
Which episode of #Countdown was the most difficult to write?
