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

surface

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.

These pants are made with the world’s strongest material woven into its fabric – Graphene

There’s a high chance that the Omega pants will outlive the human race. Now I’m not being a pessimist, I’m just stating that these all-purpose pants come with the toughest ever material known to man woven into its fabric. With a lifetime warranty that should last long enough for it to be passed down multiple generations, the Omega pants were built to literally be worn forever, or quite possibly until the end-times… a little too stark? Maybe, but it drives the point home! Designed for practically any activity that requires pants, the Omega pants by Graphene-X come with a 3-layer fabric that isn’t just destruction-proof, it’s stretchable, waterproof, and has the ability to regulate your body’s temperature so you could potentially wear the same pair of pants while rock-climbing in the sun or on a skiing trip to a snow-capped peak. The pants’ fabric as well as its construction together help it juggle its different roles. Styled like a pair of all-purpose pants with removable leg-pieces, ...
