New crime thriller series: Seven Seconds

Seven Seconds

In an instant, life is forever changed for Brenton Butler and his family. After a white cop accidentally hits and critically injures a black teenager, a northeastern city explodes with racial tensions, an attempted cover up and its aftermath, and the trial of the century.

Seven Seconds is an anthological crime thriller from creator and executive producer Veena Sud (creator of The Killing), starring two-time Emmy winner Regina King (American Crime) alongside breakout British actress Clare-Hope Ashitey (Doctor Foster).

Ashitey portrays KJ Harper, a black assistant prosecutor assigned to the incident, with troubles of her own. She grapples with the weight of the case and what it will mean to bring justice not only for Brenton, but for the Black community.

KJ works closely with the teen's mother Latrice Butler (Regina King) who realises there may be more to her son than she and her husband (Russell Hornsby) were aware of, and becomes consumed with finding out what happened.

Seven Seconds tackles the controversial issues of race relations between law enforcement, the people they serve, and the personal stories of those involved.

At its core, the series goes beyond the headlines, examining the impact a tragic accident has on a community and a family's need for answers and justice.
