Did you watch Seven Seconds on Netflix? Looks like not enough of you did because it’s one and done for the anthology drama on the streaming service.
The anthological drama, which starred Regina King, explored race in America through a story involving the hit-and-run of an African-American teenager by a white Jersey City cop (Beau Knapp) and the crime’s subsequent cover-up by the mostly white police force. It premiered February 23 on Netflix to mixed reviews.
VP of Netflix originals, Cindy Holland, had this to say about the end of the show:
“We loved working with Veena Sud, Regina King and the cast and crew of Seven Seconds. 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.”
Despite that statement, there was hope that Seven Seconds would run for additional seasons, featuring old characters returning along with new faces in an anthology format as the series would remain rooted in Jersey City.
Even the show is done at Netflix, the streamer will still submit the series in the limited series category for this year’s Emmy nominations.
