Is Surface starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw on Netflix? (where to watch)

Executive producer Reese Witherspoon is bringing us a tantalizing new psychological thriller series this weekend titled Surface. And if that isn’t enough to entice you then maybe the involvement of talented actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw (who stars alongside Witherspoon on their Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show) will.

The eight-episode series follows Sophie (Mbatha-Raw), a woman who has suffered a traumatic head injury that left her with extreme memory loss. It is believed that Sophie’s injury resulted from a suicide attempt, but she can’t remember the specifics.

Throughout the show’s eight episodes, Sophie will try to piece together her life before the incident with the assistance of her husband and friends, but who can she trust? And how can she know for sure that the truth she discovers is the real deal?

Described as a “sexy, elevated thriller” Surface is a story of self-discovery and the choices we make while searching for our identity. The series was created as a collaboration between Apple Studios and Witherspoon’s production company Hello Sunshine.

Besides Mbatha-Raw, it also stars Haunting of Hill House actor Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Stephan James, Ari Graynor, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, François Arnaud and Millie Brady.
