Here's the New Trailer for the Action-Packed Series ‘Countdown' Starring DAYS Alum Jensen Ackles
The trailer for Jensen Ackles's upcoming Prime Video series Countdown has been out for 24 hours, and it already has over 1.6 million views on YouTube (and counting). Ackles, who played the original Eric Brady on Days of Our Lives, steps into the lead, and from the looks of it, his new character has the ability to get into a lot of trouble and out of a lot of tight spots.
The Supernatural and The Boys actor plays Mark Meachum, an LAPD Detective with a bit of a death wish. After the death of a Homeland Security Agent, Meachum is recruited for a secret task force consisting of undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement. According to a Prime Video press release, 'The hunt for the killer soon uncovers a plot far more sinister than anyone could have imagined, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions.'
In the brand-new trailer, this sinister plot is described as a 'Chernobyl-level event.' Hence, the task force will have to face massive explosions, deadly fights, and death-defying situations in order to 'stop a weapon of mass destruction.' No big deal, right?
But don't worry, since this is Ackles, the former soap star will mix up the action and danger with a little fun, sarcasm, and character-driven angst. Look for Countdown to debut exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on Wednesday, June 25. The first three episodes drop first, and then new episodes will follow weekly. The season one finale touches down on Wednesday, September 3.
In addition to Ackles, Countdown stars Eric Dane (Grey's Anatomy, The Last Ship, Euphoria), Jessica Camacho (The Flash, Sleepy Hollow), Violett Beane (Death and Other Details), Elliot Knight (The Boys), and Uli Latukefu (Young Rock).

Runway now has its sights on the video game industry with its new generative AI platform
The AI startup Runway, which recently partnered with AMC Networks, is now trying to break into the gaming industry. The company has plans to launch its latest platform, called Game Worlds, next week, according to The Verge . The new tool lets Runway users create something akin to an interactive text-based game that can generate text and images from AI. Even though Game Worlds can only produce basic designs for now, the company's CEO, Cristóbal Valenzuela, is hoping this will be the first step towards more AI use in the gaming industry. Valenzuela told The Verge that "generated video games are coming later this year," adding that Runway is looking to partner with video game companies, which will be able to use the company's AI tools, while it gets access to video game datasets to train its AI on. However, the use of AI in video games has already drawn a lot of criticism from industry professionals, even leading to the SAG-AFTRA union striking against video game companies using its members' likenesses and voices to train AI. Runway has faced its own controversy for reportedly training its AI on YouTube videos and pirated movies despite being against the video platform's terms. Still, Runway is looking to replicate the similar success it's had with major TV and film studios. In the AMC deal, the AI company would help create promotional materials and help "accelerate pre-visualization during development." Before AMC, Runway secured a partnership with Lionsgate to provide its AI for the studio's "pre-production and post-production process." As for the gaming world, Runway wouldn't be the first to introduce generative AI since the industry has seen other examples already, like Ubisoft using a tool called Ghostwriter to create video game dialogue.
