Two years after its announcement, Apple TV+ has just revealed the first images from the upcoming second season of the psychological thriller “Surface”, starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the lead role, who is also an executive producer. The series, conceived by creator Veronica West, takes place in London for a new exploration of the enigmatic past of Sophie, played by Mbatha-Raw.
Apple talks about season 2
In this next installment, Sophie’s journey continues as she seeks to piece together her lost memories in her original hometown. After an accident leaves her with amnesia, the heroine uses her ill-gotten wealth to infiltrate high society, discovering a connection with a mysterious heiress. Her journey takes a dramatic turn when she receives an unexpected call from a journalist revealing their past collaboration to reveal the sinister secrets of her new social circle.
Besides Mbatha-Raw, the returning cast includes Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Millie Brady, with new additions like Phil Dunster, Gavin Drea, Rupert Graves, Tara Fitzgerald, Nina Sosanya, Joely Richardson and Freida Pinto.
Viewers can catch up or refresh their memory with the recap of the first season, released before the start of the second season of “Surface”:
“Surface” is an Apple Studios production and Hello Sunshine (like the Lucky series), where West not only created, but also wrote and directs the series. Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter Hello Sunshine are executive producers, alongside Mbatha-Raw. This season’s directing team includes Ed Lilly, Jon East, Lynsey Miller and Alrick Riley.
After its debut, Apple reminds that “Surface” was praised as “gripping,” “twisty and juicy” and a “sexy thriller.” Personally, I had trouble hanging on.
The new season is scheduled to premiere worldwide on Apple TV+ starting February 21, 2025, with subsequent episodes airing weekly until April 11, 2025.
