Editing Seven Days (TV series) (section)

==Production==
Three seasons of ''Seven Days'' were produced. All three seasons have been shown in [[North America]], and by the [[BBC]] in the United Kingdom.

''Seven Days'' was based on an idea from [[Kerry McCluggage]], then-president of Paramount Television. He pitched the idea to Christopher Crowe, who mixed it with his own research on Area 51 to create the series. The show wasn't a hit with reviewers, who criticized the show's "flimsy" premise and violence.<ref name="sf_series_book" />

Original cast member [[Sam Whipple]], who played Dr. John Ballard, left the series four episodes into the third season, due to diagnosis of a [[cancer]] that was eventually fatal. He was replaced by Kevin Christy as young physics prodigy Andrew "Hooter" Owsley for the rest of the season.<ref name="sf_series_book" />

[[Justina Vail Evans|Justina Vail]], who played Dr. Olga Vukavitch, quit the series before the end of the third season, though she agreed to film a few extra scenes to wrap-up her character's arc. Her departure and the tensions within the cast, as well as the show's low ratings, played a role in UPN's decision to not renew the series for a fourth season.<ref name="sf_series_book" />
Vail's final episode was the series' penultimate episode ''Born in the USSR'' although she was seen as usual in the title sequence from the final episode ''Live: From Death Row''.
