What’s This TV Show About?
A Netflix crime anthology series, the first season of Seven Seconds stars Regina King, Clare-Hope Ashitey, Russell Hornsby, Beau Knapp, Michael Mosley, David Lyons, Raúl Castillo, Zackary Momoh, Patrick Murney, Michelle Veintimilla, Nadia Alexander, Adriana DeMeo, and Coley Mustafa Speaks. The drama unfolds in Jersey City, when a white police officer accidentally hits and critically injures Brenton Butler — an African-American teenager. After the young man dies, the ensuing cover-up only serves to ignite racially fueled community tensions. Now, assistant prosecutor KJ Harper (Ashitey) is working with Brenton’s mother, Latrice (King), to uncover the truth about this volatile case.
On April 19, 2018, Seven Seconds was cancelled. Could it come back for a second season one day? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is difficult to predict whether Netflix will cancel or renew Seven Seconds for a second season. I don’t have a strong feeling on this one, but I will note its timely premise is somewhat similar to Shots Fired. That drama also involved a police shooting and race relations and was cancelled, after one season on FOX. Now, we just have to wait and see whether this story will appeal more to Netflix subscribers. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the trades and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free Seven Seconds cancellation and renewal alerts.
