Summary
- Villainous duo Borys Volchek and Adrej's bomb plot resolved early in Season 1
- Followed by a time jump and the launch of a new case involving a plot to assassinate the governor of California and/or POTUS
- Countdown landed on Nielsen's weekly U.S. ranking of streaming originals in its second week
In the final episodes of Countdown's first season, which wrapped up on September 3rd, 2025, viewers were in for a surprise. The villainous duo of Borys Volchek and his henchman Adrej, who were initially presented as the season-long threat, had their bomb plot at an outdoor Los Angeles galleria resolved early on in Episode 10 of 13.
This was followed by a "shiny-happy coda" and a significant time jump, leading to the launch of a brand-new case. The new storyline involves a plot to assassinate the governor of California and/or the President of the United States (POTUS).
Despite the unexpected turn of events, Countdown managed to land on Nielsen's weekly U.S. ranking of streaming originals in its second week of eligibility, with 409 million minutes viewed across the first four available episodes.
