Seven Seconds is an American crime drama television series, based on the Russian film The Major written and directed by Yuri Bykov, that premiered on February 23, 2018, on Netflix.

[1] The series, which is created, executive produced, and showrun by Veena Sud, follows the people involved in investigating the death of a Black teenager and his family as they reel after the loss.

Crooked officer Mike DiAngelo, who does business with drug dealers, takes charge of the matter, assumes Brenton is dead, and orders the others to perform a cover-up.

[3][4] On April 18, 2018, Netflix announced they were not renewing the series for a second season,[5] leaving the crimes – including murder – of Jablonski's crooked fellow officers unresolved.

The website's critical consensus reads, "Seven Seconds is undermined by unlikable characters with somewhat predictable arcs, but its grim reflections of societal and racial division are brought to life by able performers and a fearless overall narrative.
