In Surface season 2, amnesiac Sophie enters a whole new world in London on her search for lost memories. But she ends up embroiled in a British aristocratic scandal, tangling with people far more dangerous than they seem on the, er, surface, according the new trailer Apple TV+ dropped Monday.

The psychological thriller returns for its eight-episode second season on Apple TV+ Friday, February 21.

Surface season 2 trailer: Sophie’s quest to regain memories leads her to British scandal

Starring and executive produced by Gugu Mbatha-Raw and created by Veronica West, the psycho-thriller Surface will stream starting Friday, February 21. A new episode streams weekly through April 11. This season looks like it carries the hallmarks of a fairly high-toned British mystery-thriller with a familiar foe. A wealthy aristocratic family has been up to no good and desperate to hide its dirty laundry.

Cult of Mac‘s review didn’t exactly love Surface season one — more of a love-hate, up-and-down type relationship — but at least he referred to legendary director Alfred Hitchcock in his season finale review.

Read the streamer’s description:

Set in a whole new world, this new chapter of Surface follows Sophie (Mbatha-Raw) to London to unravel the secrets of her past. Having suffered an injury that robbed her of her memories, Sophie follows the few clues she has, using her vast stolen resources to embed herself in elite British society and discovers a possible connection to a beautiful heiress. But everything changes when a journalist contacts her out of the blue, and Sophie realizes they were working together to expose a shocking scandal about the dangerous people she’s now become close to.

In addition to Mbatha-Raw, Surface stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Millie Brady. And in season two, Phil Dunster, Gavin Drea, Rupert Graves, Tara Fitzgerald, Nina Sosanya, Joely Richardson and Freida Pinto join the cast.

West created the show for Apple Studios and also serves as writer, executive producer and showrunner. Hello Sunshine produces, with Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter executive producing. Mbatha-Raw both stars and executive produces. Ed Lilly, Lynsey Miller, Jon East and Alrick Riley direct season two.
