Actress Frieda Pinto has joined the cast for season two of Apple TV+ series Surface. Led by British actor Gugu Mbatha-Raw, the psychological thriller show's second season will also feature Phil Dunster of Ted Lasso fame, a press release stated.

Surface follows Sophie (Mbatha-Raw), a woman who has suffered a traumatic head injury that has left her with extreme memory loss, believed to be a result of a suicide attempt.


"Returning to her hometown of London, season two will find Sophie rediscovering the unfinished relationships that have haunted her memories - as she finds out where she really came from, and what made her the flawed person she was.

"But the mess she left behind in San Francisco will catch up with her, as Sophie discovers once and for all, you can never outrun your past," the season two logline read.

Pinto, known for featuring in movies such as Slumdog Millionaire, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and Mr. Malcolm's List, will essay the role of Grace, the fiance of Quinn (Dunster), the troubled scion of the infamous Huntley family.

As the soon-to-be newest member of the Huntley family, Grace is conflicted about what she's really signing up for and forms a special bond with Sophie.

Surface, created by Veronica West, hails from Apple Studios and Hollywood actor Reese Witherspoon's production banner Hello Sunshine.

West wrote the original series and serves as executive producer and showrunner. Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter executive produce on behalf of Hello Sunshine.

The Divine Feminine: Prashasti Singh talks power, pressure, and laughter

Highlights:

  • Prashasti’s comedy comes from real-life stories, not just punchlines.
  • The show explores modern women chasing success but still feeling unfulfilled.
  • She quit a secure corporate job and jumped into comedy.
  • Stand-up made her stop being scared of talking to people.
  • People laugh together at the same everyday problems.

Prashasti Singh started her stand-up terrified of speaking in public. “I was very conscious of my language, my pronunciation, my accent. I thought stand-up wouldn’t be my thing,” she says. But her first open mic changed that. “It felt like I was among a bunch of sisters, a bunch of friends. I just forgot all my nervousness. It came out very naturally.”
