Before 'Surface,' Gugu Mbatha-Raw Put Her Own Spin on 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' in This J.J. Abrams Spy Series
Before Surface, Gugu Mbatha-Raw put her own spin on Mr. and Mrs. Smith opposite Boris Kodjoe in the short-lived J.J. Abrams spy series Undercovers.
Genre television fans know actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw from Loki, the Emmy-winning Black Mirrorepisode "San Junipero," and even Doctor Who. But in 2010, she starred in Undercovers, a high-concept (but not science fiction) J.J. Abrams series that was canceled much too soon. In her returning Apple TV+ show, Surface, her character experiences some Jason Bourne-like memory loss. But Undercovers, which is available to stream for free on Tubi, was a spy show that bore a much closer resemblance to Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
