Apple TV+ has picked up the thriller 'Surface' starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw for a second season. The renewal comes three months after the conclusion of its eight-episode first season.

Created by Veronica West (High Fidelity) and produced by Apple Studios and Hello Sunshine, Surface follows Sophie (Mbatha-Raw), a woman who has extreme memory loss after a traumatic head injury. In the first season, set in San Francisco, Sophie seeks to rediscover herself, unearthing sins ranging from an affair to much deeper questions about a hidden past and her true identity.

Mbatha-Raw, who’s also an executive producer, said in a statement: "I am thrilled to continue this journey and dive deeper into the tension and mystery of ‘Surface’ with with this brilliant team. I love playing Sophie and I can’t wait for fans and new audiences to join us as she enters the dangerous new world of her past in season two. As an actor and executive producer, it’s incredibly meaningful to be bringing this story home to London."
