The Takeaway: Gugu Mbatha-Raw On Subverting Conventions

'Gugu Mbatha-Raw stars in the psychological thriller series Surface as the subversive character, Sophie. Sophie is a woman without a past — as far as she remembers. The Apple TV+ series was just renewed for a second season, which will see Sophie attempt to find that past, even as she runs from it. Mbatha-Raw is also an executive producer on the show, and she joins The Takeaway to talk about filming in iconic San Fransisco locations and challenging Hollywood conventions — both on screen and behind the scenes.'
