Countdown is listed as an ongoing series with a "In Production" production status, but the next episode or season has not yet been given a firm air date in the official schedule. The most recent episode aired on July 19, 1987, so any future release date is likely to fall after that.

overview
What is Countdown about?
Countdown was a long-running popular weekly Australian music television show broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation from 8 November 1974 until 19 July 1987. It was created by Executive Producer Michael Shrimpton, producer/director Robbie Weekes and record producer and music journalist Ian "Molly" Meldrum. Countdown was produced at the studios of the ABC in the Melbourne suburb of Ripponlea. Countdown was the most popular music program in Australian TV history. It was broadcast nationwide on Australia's government-owned broadcaster, the ABC and commanded a huge and loyal audience. It soon exerted a strong influence on radio programmers because of its audience and the amount of Australian content it featured. For most of the time it was on air, it also gained double exposure throughout the country by screening a new episode each Sunday evening, and then repeating it the following Saturday evening. The majority of performances on the show were lip synched. It blends talk elements. The series reflects a distinct Australia style and perspective. The story is shaped by its creators, Ian 'Molly' Meldrum, Robbie Weekes and Michael Shrimpton.
