Regina King is headed to Netflix.
The Emmy winner has signed on to star in the streaming giant's forthcoming racial crime drama Seven Seconds, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
In the series, which hails from The Killing creator Veena Sud, 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.
King will play Latrice Butler, a devout churchgoer and a proud wife and mother. After her and her family move out of the projects and become first-time home owners, Latrice is shaken to her core when she learns that her 15-year-old son Brenton has been in an incident. Suddenly aware that there's more to Brenton than she and her husband were aware of, Latrice is rocked by the power of her anger at her son's predicament, an anger that will change her life, her relationship with her husband, and more.
