Gugu Mbatha-Raw stars in the new series called Surface and it is gripping; it follows a woman’s journey as she tries to figure out her life after losing her memory.

 

Global (28 July 2022) – Surface is a new series that has people sitting on the edge of their seats. It is about a woman who wakes up with amnesia after a suspected suicide attempt, however, as parts of her memory return, she sees a dark side to her old life and it is chilling! Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays the lead of Sophie and she gives a brilliant performance.

Gugu has been building a name for herself as a powerful actress and the last time we featured her, it was for her small but important role as the beautiful feather duster, Plumette in the live action of Beauty and the Beast.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw was born Gugulethu Sophia Mbatha in the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, England. Her father, Patrick Mbatha, is originally from South Africa where he studied and practiced as a doctor, before meeting her mother, Anne Raw, who is an English nurse.

While Gugu may not be directly South African, she does have 50% South African DNA and that is always worth celebrating. While we love to claim South African’s wherever we find them, it is actually her role as Sophie that got us chatting in the first place.

Everyone loves a gripping series where you can’t read the ending and this one does it! While the series is available on Apple TV+ and not all can access that, we still thought it was worth a share and a shout-out.

Take a look at the trailer below. Is this on your watch list?
