Prime Video canceled Countdown and Butterfly after one season each because the shows failed to strike a chord with viewers and critics. Created and written by Derek Haas, the crime drama series Countdown was released on June 25, 2025. Countdown narrated the story of an LAPD detective, Mark Meachum (played by Jensen Ackles), who investigates the murder of a Department of Homeland Security officer.
The series failed to collect praise from critics. While Variety branded it as a “snooze fest”, Countdown received an upsetting score of 35% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
On the other hand, Butterfly, which was based on a graphic novel by Boom! Studios, aired on Prime Video on August 13, 2025. It starred Daniel Dae Kim in the lead role. Created by Steph Cha and Ken Woodruff, Butterfly follows the journey of David Jung, a former US intelligence operative, whose life takes an interesting turn after he realizes his daughter works as an assassin for the same spy organization he co-founded before faking his death.
Unlike Countdown, Butterfly scored 68% on Rotten Tomatoes.
