What Tumor Does Jensen Ackles' Character Have in Prime Video's 'Countdown'?

Prime Video's 'Countdown' got off to a rough start with the reveal that Jensen Ackles' character has a fatal health diagnosis.

The doctor confirmed that Meachum’s health issue wasn’t curable, adding, “Why don’t you find a beach somewhere, put your feet up, take as much relief medication as you can and live out the time you have left with as much comfort as you can?” The series, which premieres in June 2025, follows an LAPD detective who is recruited onto a covert task force with undercover agents from various law enforcement agencies after a Department of Homeland Security officer is killed in plain sight. Instead, he spent the entire first three episodes of the season putting his body through strenuous activities while dealing with a drug cartel, a man posing a major threat to the U.S. and any other physical labor that came with working on a secret task force.
