Apple TV+ revealed that the psychological thriller Surface from Veronica West will premiere on July 29. It stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, best known for appearing in Apple’s critically acclaimed The Morning Show.
The upcoming series asks, what if you woke up one day and didn’t know your own secrets?
Surface is a ‘sexy, elevated thriller’
Mbatha-Raw stars as Sophie, a woman with extreme memory loss as a result of a traumatic head injury that’s believed to be a result of a suicide attempt. She tries to put the pieces of her life back together with the help of her husband and friends, but then begins to question whether or not what she is told is the truth. Apple promises twists and turns and an unexpected love triangle.
Surface is written and exec-produced by Veronica West, who has previously worked on High Fidelity, Mercy, Brothers & Sisters, Hart of Dixie and State of Affairs.
