‘Surface’: Gugu Mbatha-Raw to Star in Psychological Thriller for AppleTV+

Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who you may know from The Morning Show and Beyond the Lights, is about to headline her own TV show.

She’s set to star in Surface, a new psychological thriller for AppleTV+ which hails from creator Veronica West, who was one of the key people behind the cancelled-too-soon Hulu re-imagining of High Fidelity.

Mbatha-Raw is settling into AppleTV+. She already plays a supporting role on The Morning Show for that streamer, and now she’s about to star in Surface, a new thriller that’s also being produced by Reese Witherspoon‘s Hello Sunshine production company. Apple has handed out a straight-to-series order for the series, which is still otherwise entirely shrouded in mystery.

West, whose other writing credits include Ugly Betty, Hart of Dixie, Chicago Fire, Bull, and the upcoming extension of Showtime’s Dexter, found a passionate audience with her recent spin on High Fidelity, but unfortunately the Disney-owned Hulu chose not to renew it for a second season. Surface is her follow-up project; she created and wrote this original series and will serve as an executive producer alongside Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter. Mbatha-Raw will star in the show and serve as a co-executive producer.

I first saw Mbatha-Raw in Bad Robot’s underrated spy comedy series Undercovers back in 2010. Since then, she has carved out a solid career in productions ranging from Black Mirror (she’s in the wonderful episode “San Junipero”) to Beyond the Lights, the Wachowskis’ ambitious sci-fi epic Jupiter Ascending, Disney’s live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle in Time, the puppet-centric The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, and this year’s fairy tale drama Come Away. She’s also set to make her entrance in the realm of mainstream superhero storytelling in Loki, the new Marvel Studios series that’s coming soon to Disney+.

You can read our interview with her here. Production on Surface is set to begin sometime in 2021.

Common Causes of Wi-Fi Connectivity Problems

Imagine settling in for the night to watch a few episodes of your favorite binge-worthy TV show when suddenly, your streaming service stops loading, and all you can do is watch the Wi-Fi go in and out, hoping the endless buffering stops soon. You might be gritting your teeth just thinking about it — you and 7 billion other people. The demand for Wi-Fi is now global. In a study, 75% of people reported that they’d be grumpier during a week without Wi-Fi than they would during a week without coffee. In fact, 60% of the same group said they couldn’t go without Wi-Fi for even one day! When the Wi-Fi is down, our internet-dependent world quickly comes to a halt. Our emails stop loading, our virtual assistants stop responding, our tablets and laptops become useless, and our phones dip into our precious data supply. Approximately 71% of all our mobile communication occurs over wireless internet, according to Wi-Fi Alliance, and surveys say we like it that way. Wi-Fi is now the preferred me...
