Michael Mosley is keen to reunite his charismatic, dog-loving detective Joe 'Fish' Rinaldi with Claire Hope-Ashitey's flawed yet ambitious prosecutor KJ for a second season of Seven Seconds.

The emotive and timely piece about police brutality in the US, adapted by Veena Sud, is not an easy watch, but is worth persevering with for its profound and affecting story, as well as incredible performances from its ensemble cast.

Teasing what we can expect if there's another outing, Mosley told Digital Spy: "I think the whisper is that KJ and Fish would move into another case; we want to attack it like The Wire.

"You might have a new backdrop for season two, but you have the same characters woven throughout and bringing a new cast.

"The Wire started on the corner and then the docks and then the school. It could cover a different crime. But that's what I've heard. We haven't been picked up yet."

Discussing showrunner Sud – who adapted The Killing in the US – he said: "I think Veena is very talented, and she has all these voices and individuals represented in her head. And she's very good at weaving that all together, so I'm sure she's planning something."

Regina King and David Lyons also starred in the first season about Jersey City police officer Peter Jablonski (Beau Knapp), who accidentally knocks down black teenager Brenton Butler and, under pressure from his fellow officers, covers up the crime.

It follows King's bereaved mother Latrice as she searches for justice for her slain son within a system that continues to fail black Americans and send out the message that a black life is worth less than a white life.

British actor and Doctor Foster star Ashitey previously told Digital Spy: "The way I understand it is if there was a second series, it would be based on a true story. We definitely would do a second series if Netflix wants to commission it."

Meanwhile, Mosley will also be reprising his role as the tormented preacher Mason Young for the second season of Jason Bateman's Ozark.

"Jason moves fast, and when we were flying out to film, he already had an assembly of four episodes," the Castle star said.

"I anticipate the second season maybe by fall..."

Seven Seconds and Ozark are available to stream on Netflix.
