Netflix has released the official trailer and photos for their new anthology crime drama series Seven Seconds<\/strong>,\u00a0a powerful anthological crime thriller from acclaimed creator and executive producer Veena Sud<\/strong> (The Killing), starring two-time Emmy winner Regina King<\/strong> (American Crime) alongside breakout British actress Clare-Hope Ashitey<\/strong> (Doctor Foster).<\/p>\n

Netflix will stream the entire first season on Friday, February 23, 2018 on Netflix.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a society fraught with racial tension, sensational headlines, and an audience who would rather be entertained than informed, seven seconds can mean life or death. The new Netflix original series Seven Seconds gives viewers a glimpse into the human stories behind the headlines.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s mother Latrice Butler (Regina King) who realizes 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s need for answers and justice. The freshman series also stars Beau Knapp, Michael Mosely, David Lyons, Raul Castillo<\/strong>, and Zackary Momoh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
