The series is produced by Apple Studios and Hello Sunshine, with Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter serving as executive producers. Veronica West, the show’s creator, returns as showrunner, writer, and executive producer to guide this next chapter.
In its first season, Surface followed Sophie as she unraveled shocking secrets about her life, including faking her death and stealing from her husband’s company.
