Surface Trailer: Gugu Mbatha-Raw Leads Apple’s Psychological Thriller

Apple Studios has released the official trailer for Surface, the upcoming psychological thriller drama starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw. The series is scheduled to make its debut on July 29 with the first three episodes.

The Surface trailer, which you can check out below, features a woman who’s having trouble remembering parts of her life before she allegedly tried to take her own life.

Surface is created and written by Veronica West, who also serves as the showrunner and executive producer. Joining Mbatha-Raw are Oliver Jackson-Cohen (The Haunting of Hill House), Stephan James (If Beale Street Could Talk), Ari Graynor (I’m Dying Up Here), Academy Award nominee Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Secrets & Lies), François Arnaud (I Killed My Mother) and Millie Brady (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies).

“Set in high-end San Francisco, Sophie, a woman who has suffered a traumatic head injury that has left her with extreme memory loss, believed to be a result of a suicide attempt,” reads the synopsis. “As Sophie embarks on a quest to put the pieces of her life back together with the help of her husband and friends, she begins to question whether or not the truth she is told is in fact the truth she has lived.

Through twists and turns and an unexpected love triangle, this sexy, elevated thriller asks: What if you woke up one day and didn’t know your own secrets? Surface is a story of self-discovery which contemplates if we are pre-programmed to become who we are, or if we choose our own identity.”

Executive producers are Mbatha Raw, Reese Witherspoon, Lauren Neustadter, and Sam Miller. The series is directed by Miller, Kevin Sullivan, Jennifer Morrison, and Tucker Gates. It is a production by Apple Studios and Hello Sunshine.
