Maspeth will be featured on streaming devices everywhere as Netflix comes to the neighborhood to film scenes for their new series “Seven Seconds” on Friday, June 2.

Filming for “Seven Seconds” will take place at 57-22 66th St. between 58th and Grand avenues, starting at 1 p.m. and lasting until 7 p.m. Television crews will be meeting at the intersection of Grand Avenue and 66th Street at 6 a.m. Friday morning to prepare for the shoot.

The scene that will be shot involves a character approaching the house, turning back, walking to her car and driving away. There will also be special effects snow on the ground.

“Seven Seconds” is an American crime drama based on the 2013 Russian action film “The Major.” The show, set in Jersey City, NJ, will star Regina King as Latrice Butler.

According to IMDB, the show revolves around the growing tensions between the African American community and Caucasian cops when a teenage African American boy is critically injured by a cop.
