Variety has confirmed that the Netflix original Seven Seconds has been canceled after only one season.
The show was created and produced by Veena Sud, who is best known for developing hit TV drama The Killing. The show tells the story of a white cop who accidentally critically injures a black teenager, which causes an explosion of racial tension in the city. The drama is about the aftermath of the incident and stars Regina King as the mother of the boy hit. The show also features Clare-Hope Ashitey, Russell Hornsby, Beau Knapp, Michael Mosley, David Lyons, Raul Castillo, Zackary Momoh, Patrick Murney, Michelle Veintimilla, Nadia Alexander, and Coley Mustafa Speaks.
Even though Netflix has canceled the show, they are still planning to submit Seven Seconds for Emmy consideration in the limited series category.
Cindy Holland, the vice president of original content at Netflix said:
“We loved working with Veena Sud, Regina King and the cast and crew of Seven Seconds,” Holland said. “Together they created a compelling, timely and relevant crime drama. The first season is a complete, stand-alone story that we are proud to feature on Netflix for years to come.”
