Netflix and Veena Sud are reuniting.

The streaming giant is nearing a series pickup for Seven Seconds, a racial crime drama from The Killing showrunner, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

In the drama, tensions run high between African-American citizens and Caucasian cops in Jersey City, where a teenage African-American boy is critically injured by a cop.

Sud would serve as showrunner on the series, which is eyeing a 10-episode order. She will exec produce with Lawrence Bender, Kevin Brown, Alex Reznik and Gavin O'Connor, the latter whom would also direct. Fox 21, where Sud is under an overall deal, will produce Seven Seconds.

Netflix declined to comment.

Seven Seconds is the latest TV project to tackle the Black Lives Matter movement that has taken the country by storm and has sparked protests and unrest in places like Baltimore and Ohio, where unarmed African-American men have been gunned down by police. Empire, UnREAL and Black-ish are just a few of the shows that have touched on the topic in the last year.
