by

The trailer for the eight-episode second season of “Surface,” streaming on Apple TV+, offers a tantalizing peek at Gugu Mbatha-Raw‘s character, Sophie, as she embarks on an exciting journey to London.

As a die-hard fan, I’d say: In the latest installment, I find myself stepping into the shoes of Sophie, whose past is shrouded in mystery due to an unexpected injury that’s left me with blank memories. To fill these voids, I immerse myself within the grandeur of British royal society. However, the status quo shifts dramatically when a journalist, out of the blue, contacts me, hinting at a fresh scandal waiting to unravel.

Actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw is set to reprise her role, joining her co-stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Millie Brady, Phil Dunster from “Ted Lasso”, Gavin Drea from “Daisy Jones & The Six”, Rupert Graves, Tara Fitzgerald, Nina Sosanya, Joely Richardson, and Freida Pinto in the world of “Surface”.
