A trailer has dropped for Veena Sud’s new Netflix series, “Seven Seconds.” The drama sees “The Killing” creator tackling another crime story, this one centering on the aftermath of a black teenager’s serious injury at the hands of a white cop (Beau Knapp) in Jersey City. The cop didn’t intentionally gun down an unarmed teen — he accidentally hit him with a car and fled the scene.

Consumed with guilt, the officer wants to turn himself in. “I didn’t become a cop to break the rules,” he explains. A cover up has protected him — for the time being — but the boy’s mother (Regina King) isn’t going to rest until she finds answers about who did this to her son. “My son laid in the cold in pain for hours, and whoever did this is free,” she says.

According the series’ official synopsis, the crime causes the city to “[explode] with racial tensions” and leads to “the trial of the century.”

In an interview with CNN Sud revealed that she conceived “Seven Seconds” shortly after Freddie Gray died in police custody. The writer-director-producer felt like every time she turned on the news she encountered “yet another account of a young black man or a black child being gunned down in the street.” She explained, “It was the right time to start thinking [about] how to tell this story and make that attempt and open that door.”

Sud is reuniting with “The Killing” star Mireille Enos for “Between the Earth and the Sky,” a family drama that’s currently in production.

“Seven Seconds” hits Netflix February 23. Clare-Hope Ashitey stars as a prosecutor who refuses to let the crime go unsolved.
