Haas is an industry veteran, very well known for FBI: International and his work on the Chicago franchise (Fire, P.D., Med and Justice) produced by Wolf Entertainment. His shows have a reputation of the highest quality, strong ratings and consistent viewership. For Countdown, Haas is not only the creator, but will also serve as executive producer and showrunner.
