The Stacked Cast of Surface Says Howdy


Here is one I have been looking forward to for ages now -- Apple+ has debuted the trailer for their upcoming series Surface today, which stars (and you're about to get why I have been looking forward to this one forever) Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Stephan James, Ari Graynor, François Arnaud, and Marianne Jean Baptiste (I mean! Phew!) and is about a woman (Gugu) who has amnesia after "falling" over the side of a boat and who tries to put the pieces of her memories back together, all while that hubby of hers (OJC) becomes more and more sinister-seeming by the second. It's all very upscale Lifetime. I kind of love that Olly has become the go-to for Hot Scary Husbands...

... and y'all know how very very very much I am reading into this shot of him with François Arnaud in the trailer, right? Right. Oliver Jackson-Cohen playing a closet-case would be very funny though! Haha. Sigh. Let's just hope they give them an actual sex scene and it's not just lots of leaning towards each other with weighted meaningful glances. Also let's give it up for...

... some Ari Graynor looking fabulous! We've been rooting for Ari ever since she gifted the world with the world's most disgusting toilet scene in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist thirteen years ago (good grief) and we're always happy when she pops up. All that said here's that trailer...


Surface premieres on July 29th! Can't wait...

OJC's character is shown having clandestine meetings with an openly queer actor and his backstory is "your husband's alibi is a lie"? Yep almost positive Ollie's playing a closet case again! What a typecast. Love love love Ari!

My partner is terrible with names and whenever we see Ari Graynor in something, he goes: "Is that the girl with the gum from that movie?" And I always say yes. Honestly, should have been nominated for awards for the best drunken performance ever.
