Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Surface
(Picture: Apple TV)Gugu Mbatha-Raw is, she says, “having the time of my life”. In the past few years, the acclaimed actor has starred in Marvel show Loki, glossy thrillers on BBC One and Apple TV+ and is filming a heist movie for Netflix with Kevin Hart. “It feels like a great place to be,” she says. “Keeping all the plates spinning.”
When we talk over Zoom, it is about Surface, the Apple TV+ drama released in the UK today. In it she plays Sophie, who, at the start, has suffered a traumatic head injury that has left her with memory loss. As she tries to piece her life back together, she is forced to question who she actually was and the real motives of those closest to her.
