“Surface ss 2”: release date, announcement
Sequel to the psychological thriller “Surface” may appear in 2023. Since there is no official data on the future of the picture yet, we have to be content only with the assumptions of film critics who see the point in launching new episodes despite the not too high ratings of the season 2. If the sequel comes out, then it will most likely happen no earlier than the summer of 2023.
Plot
Sophie’s nightmares know no bounds – a woman wakes up in a cold sweat, remembering how she was drowning under water, and in front of her the blades of the ship were spinning, about to cripple her body. This has been going on ever since she managed to recover. After a painful rehabilitation, her true friends and loved one remain with her. But Sophie cannot find peace.
She travels a lot by public transport and taxis. One day, getting into the car, she asks the taxi driver to stop, as he was about to drive over the bridge. Fearful of being underwater again, Sophie throws a tantrum, and the terrified taxi driver stops to let his strange fellow traveler get out.
Sophie constantly feels that the world around her is alien: those around her behave too kindly. But the main question haunts her: how did a healthy, intelligent woman like her end up overboard? Trying to understand herself, Sophie seeks answers from her psychiatrist. But here, too, failures await her, since the advice of a person from the outside turns out to be ineffective in practical life.
The husband throws all his strength into helping Sophie. James is not embarrassed by her dressing up in the middle of the night, a morning run that has never happened before. Even extraneous questions no longer baffle him. James really wants his wife to feel comfortable and not be subjected to negativity. But soon everything changes.
Going to an evening reception in the company of her lover, Sophie tries on a new outfit. Later, in evening wear, she rides the subway to a restaurant. On the way, she is met by a man who assures that he has the information necessary for her. Without telling her husband, Sophie meets a mysterious stranger in a bar and learns a lot…
The director of the projects “Daredevil” and “Luther” Sam Miller prepared thoroughly for the creation of the TV show “Surface”. A good start allowed him to think about the continuation of the picture, which will provide answers to new questions…
