"It has that kind of Big Little Lies feeling in that it's this really rich, wealthy world, but there's this darkness underneath," she told E! News at the Surface premiere on 26 July.

Set in San Francisco, California, not far from the jaw-dropping setting that is Big Little Lies' Monterey, Surface stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who plays a woman named Sophie.

Throughout the series, Sophie is attempting to piece her life back together after a suicide attempt results in memory loss, and it sees her struggle to understand all the things that led up to that moment.
