It was the late summer of 2020, and she was content, if not exactly challenged, in the iron-pressed shirt collar and necktie of Ravonna Renslayer. She ached for an opportunity to stretch stiff muscles, especially as the pandemic continued the squeeze the television industry.  \u201cI had a great experience on Loki,\u201d she tells me when we meet for lunch in Midtown Manhattan this July. \u201cBut I think the Marvel world is a particular genre. So it was very refreshing to me to read Surface at the time, because it was so different to what I was working on.\u201dShe already had a connection to the production company behind Surface: Hello Sunshine, co-founded by Mbatha-Raw\u2019s The Morning Show cast-mate Reese Witherspoon. From Atlanta, she Zoomed with Surface showrunner Veronica West, with Witherspoon herself, and with Hello Sunshine President of Film &amp; TV Lauren Neustadter. Together, they took the pitch to Apple, \u201cand they pretty much bought it right away,\u201d Mbatha-Raw says. By Thanksgiving of 2020, a writers\u2019 room was at work, and by June 2021, Mbatha-Raw was on set in Vancouver, in the lead role of Sophie, an amnesiac struggling to make sense of her life and relationships after a presumed suicide attempt leaves her without memories. As an executive producer as well as actress for Surface, she\u2019d had a heavy hand in everything from Sophie\u2019s musical tastes to who would play her co-stars, including Oliver Jackson-Cohen as Sophie\u2019s husband, James, and Ari Graynor as her friend Caroline. As such, Mbatha-Raw\u2019s tastes are felt throughout the series; her, as she puts it, \u201cBritish sensibility\u201d adds gloss and dimension to what might otherwise feel\u2014if you\u2019ll forgive me\u2014a mere surface-level investigation of monied myth-making. As the series speeds toward its finale, critics have widely deemed Mbatha-Raw as the standout in an otherwise mixed reception. Her face\u2014Sophie\u2019s face\u2014contorts as she learns new details about her past lives, but even more so as she learns how to harness those details. Surface\u2019s protagonist is not innocent, neither before nor after her accident, and the thrill of connecting those two threads is most evident in Mbatha-Raw\u2019s performance, as she spins the wheels of reinvention behind Sophie\u2019s tony exterior. In a wide-ranging conversation ahead of the Surface premiere, I learned how Mbatha-Raw poured both her practical and artistic skills into Surface, what she hopes for the future of the series, and how her time on Loki has informed her future creative endeavors. MICHAEL WHARLEYYou mentioned before that your preparation for this character was different than your previous roles\u2014because Sophie needed to be a \u201cblank slate.\u201d I\u2019m curious how you balanced that need to be a blank slate with the fact that you were also executive producing, so you were deeply immersed in creative choices surrounding her story.I always like to know where I\u2019m going. Because I think it helps you arc [your choices]. And so, for me, even though I knew where it was going, it enabled me to then feel like, How far can I stretch this person? How many nuances can I give her? How many facets can I find? And make her as messy and flawed and real as possible.  And I was really fortunate that, because I was moved to executive producer, I was very much immersed in the pre-production, but also, I\u2019m not the only producer. I mean, there\u2019s full-timers on this who are much more experienced than me that I can really trust when I\u2019m on set. I don\u2019t have to micromanage. We\u2019ve done the preparation, then I\u2019m Sophie. And then, in [post-production] or other conversations not around the set, I can still have a voice in, but I don\u2019t feel like I have to carry everything. What did you find was most challenging to make authentic about Sophie, given her \u201cblank slate\u201d status?  When you\u2019re dealing with a glamorous world, I\u2019m always looking to find the grounded things within it. I think from the get-go, this show is going to look gorgeous, stylish, and noir. And a lot of the inspirations for the show, visually, came not just from things like Vertigo or Last Year at Marienbad, but even Sam Miller, our director, brought in images from Eyes Wide Shut. So it was always going to look seductive, and I think with that, I always wanted to make sure that there was still a grit. And that Sophie is genuinely running with no makeup on. When she\u2019s genuinely sweating, when she\u2019s running up those hills in San Francisco. Even though it\u2019s a glamorous world, we need to sort of feel like we can find the human chinks.It was interesting, for someone whose life is so painted-on, to show the moments where she\u2019s raw. And then for even those moments to feel disorienting, like maybe they&#8217;re not real. We also talked about a lot, the idea that, genuinely, if you can\u2019t remember who you are, it\u2019s like, \u201cWell, what do I do?\u201d You go into your closet, and you\u2019re like, \u201cWow. What is all this stuff on the counter? And what do I do with all of this makeup? How do I do my makeup?&#187; It\u2019s kind of liberating in a way, because you\u2019re not having to paint on the social convention.I think it was important to start from an accessible place of somebody who\u2019s open-eyed and not polished. Because she\u2019s not a polished person, even though she lives in a very affluent world. She\u2019s still figuring out, what is this polish even for? Why are people doing this?It reminds me of the first episode of her with her friends at lunch. \u201cAre these my friends? Why would these be my friends?\u201d\u201cWhat is this small talk? And is that really funny? Do I like them? And was that a backhanded compliment?\u201dAnd then there\u2019s the scene in episode 1 where she\u2019s rediscovering the music she loves. That was such a fantastic montage. What went into the selection of those songs in particular? Some were in the script. So things like \u201cA Love Supreme\u201d by John Coltrane, Radiohead, Pablo Honey, those definitely, [showrunner Veronica West] wrote those in very early on. [Director] Sam Miller has amazing taste in music as well. And so it became a conversation, because they said, \u201cYou\u2019re the one that\u2019s got to dance to these records, so what are you going to dance to? And what\u2019s going to unlock something in you?\u201d They just set the camera rolling, two cameras rolling, about 45 minutes. We didn\u2019t cut, and I just improvised. It\u2019s really condensed in the show. But it felt like we were liberated from the script, and I could just be Sophie. That sense of discovery and newness. What if you had never heard Radiohead? What if you\u2019d never heard one of the greatest saxophonists of all time, and you hear them for the first time as an adult? What is that like?[In episode 6], then, it intersects with James and their backstory a bit more. Mbatha-Raw and Jackson-Cohen in Surface.Apple TV+Assuming that you want to continue executive producing in other projects, what about this experience showed you what you want to do in the future?I mean, it made me value&#8230;you always know this, but how collaborative this process is, and I think how important it is to surround yourself with people that stretch you. Not just your doppelg\u00e4ngers. It\u2019s great to have people to share your taste, but I think it\u2019s also good to have a creative dynamic. A good creative dynamic comes from stretch and opposing views. And culturally\u2014I think there&#8217;s a difference, in a British sense of it. As global as the world is, there\u2019s still a sensibility, a British sensibility and an American sensibility. I\u2019ve worked and spent a lot of time in the U.S., so it\u2019s not new to me. But, in terms of visually, in terms of what people are used to culturally seeing on TV\u2014bringing my own personal taste into that conversation as well.So we\u2019ll see. Fingers crossed for a season 2. But yeah, I mean, I feel like I\u2019m still digesting what I\u2019ve learned.You mentioned hoping for a season 2. Is this something where you have a multi-season arc planned out? [Smiles.] I couldn&#8217;t possibly say. But is this the sort of thing where there\u2019s a plan for it? Or is it more, like, If we get lucky, then we\u2019ll do a season 2?  Well, Veronica West is very smart and has a real vision. And when you get to the end of the show, you tell me if you\u2019re like, \u201cIs this the end, or is this the end?\u201d Alright. I trust you. You\u2019ll know. And not that I pay too much attention, but I don\u2019t know how the show\u2019s going to be received, and how much that influences what you do or not. But I know\u2014things are already, sort of&#8230;there\u2019s a vision, that\u2019s all I\u2019m saying.  Do you feel like, as your career expands and you take on new roles in a literal and figurative sense, that you\u2014as an artist\u2014are being seen in a new and perhaps more all-encompassing way?I don\u2019t know. I mean, it\u2019s very hard to spend too much time thinking about other people\u2019s perceptions of you, right? I\u2019m not sure. I mean, some people just assertive or grew up in the business, or are able to articulate what they want. But I think, for me, it certainly takes a bit of time to feel like you\u2019ve got the experience to back up what maybe you\u2019ve always thought or always had the instinct to do. But never wanted to come across as like, \u201cOh, here\u2019s that little whippersnapper. What do they know?\u201d Now I feel okay. Call it confidence or experience, or a combination of just settling into yourself&#8230;You\u2019re just more in touch with yourself as a person, and therefore, able to express yourself more freely, I think, with the confidence and experience to back you up.  Do you see yourself moving away from acting and more toward work behind the camera? Or do you want to remain firmly planted in the acting world? Oh, no. I mean, acting, I love. Acting\u2019s the best.And I think, I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m growing as a person and it\u2019s a great way to express yourself emotionally and artistically. I\u2019m definitely an artist at heart. As much as you learn about the business and you grow, you become that to support the art. I don\u2019t ever really want to walk away from the artistic side. It\u2019s just, you get a little more autonomy, maybe a little more power to steer the gaze of the show, or the gaze of the story, or the vision. But it\u2019s all kind of feeding in to lift up the art and make it more authentic and progressive and push the culture forward.  I do have to ask about Loki. You mentioned, when you\u2019re dealing with Marvel, it\u2019s automatically a very different sort of project.   Yeah. What do you like about that? What excites you about returning to that now? Well, it\u2019s really exciting to be a part of something that is a big hit. I\u2019d never gone back to a second season of anything before. I\u2019ve done just one and done, and quite deliberately never really signed up for very long-running things. The couple that I did got canceled. [Laughs.]I\u2019ve never done something before where you walk on the set, and even the crew and the background artists know who your characters are. That\u2019s a different energy for me. I think more people have seen me play Ravonna Renslayer than have potentially seen me play anything. Which is weird to think, when you just think sheer numbers.It\u2019s also kind of fun to have different levels of attachment to different things. There\u2019s some things where you\u2019re executive producer; you&#8217;re in from the ground up. And then there\u2019s some things where, I think, you relinquish control to the greater machine. But that doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t find fun within it. And I think it\u2019s refreshing, in a way, to come from something where I\u2019ve had a huge amount of responsibility to something where I\u2019m not the lead, but I can just come in and do my thing and have fun with it. And I don\u2019t have to watch the cuts; I don\u2019t have to give notes on the score. I think it\u2019s a balance. It\u2019s knowing that it\u2019s a great ride, but it\u2019s not my baby. And actually, that\u2019s healthy as well.MICHAEL WHARLEYIn our earlier chat, you mentioned the difficulty of the past couple years. I think, especially as an artist, it can be strange to jump between the difficulty of reality, to whatever world you\u2019re creating in the moment. How do you make those jumps? I mean, I much prefer to be in imaginary worlds. So it\u2019s not hard for me to put down the news. It\u2019s a relief, this. It\u2019s a relief to have a script. It\u2019s a privilege, so I don\u2019t find it hard. I actually have to make myself engage with the real world sometimes, because I find so much more joy and sustenance from creating. And the intensity of filming, you\u2019re in a bubble, and so I actually have to be actually more disciplined about checking in.Weirdly, you can sometimes tell the truth\u2014it\u2019s easier to tell the truth in a fictional setting. With the focus of sustained eye contact and silence, and everybody working toward one creative goal, you can be bolder with the truth, and you can be more daring than you might dare to be. You can be more intimate. The character can be more sort of messy than you might allow yourself to be. You can really find truth in those moments. And that, to me, can be really exciting.Are you happy with the direction your career is taking?I mean, honestly, I feel like I\u2019m just hitting my stride and getting to do the work that I dreamed of. I feel like, even though there\u2019s those moments where everything\u2019s happening, everything\u2019s coming out [at once]\u2014I have modulation in the pace of how I work and rest, and I&#8217;m quite good at resting and relaxing.I just hope to build on what I\u2019ve done so far. It\u2019s exciting, I think, to have enough momentum that you can connect the dots. In the past, maybe things have been further apart or so different that people haven\u2019t realized that the person who was in Belle was the same person that was in Beyond the Lights. And here it\u2019s like, Oh, I can talk about Loki, and Surface, and Lift in the same breath. And it\u2019s still recognizably me, even though they are a broad spectrum of genres.This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
