Apple TV+ has unveiled the trailer for new conspiracy thriller “Prime Target,” starring Leo Woodall (“The White Lotus,” “One Day”) and Quintessa Swindell (“Black Adam,” “In Treatment”).
Created by writer Steve Thompson (“Sherlock,” “Vienna Blood”), who also serves as executive producer, the new drama is produced for Apple TV+ by New Regency with Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Productions. The eight-episode series will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on January 22.
“Prime Target” features a brilliant young math postgraduate, Edward Brooks (played by Woodall), who is on the verge of a major breakthrough. If he succeeds in finding a pattern in prime numbers, he will hold the key to every computer in the world. Soon, he begins to realize an unseen enemy is trying to destroy his idea before it’s even born, which throws him into the orbit of Taylah Sanders, an NSA agent (played by Swindell) who’s been tasked with watching and reporting on mathematicians’ behaviour. Together, they start to unravel the troubling conspiracy Edward is at the heart of.
The cast also includes Stephen Rea (“The Crying Game”), David Morrissey (“Sherwood,” “The Walking Dead”), Martha Plimpton (“The Regime”), Sidse Babett Knudsen (“Borgen”), Jason Flemyng (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”), Harry Lloyd (“Game of Thrones”), Ali Suliman (“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” “Paradise Now”), Fra Fee (“Rebel Moon,” “Hawkeye”) and Joseph Mydell (“The Eternal Daughter”).
Ed Rubin serves as executive producer for New Regency alongside Beth Pattinson, Emma Broughton, Yariv Milchan, Arnon Milchan and Michael Schaefer; Marina Brackenbury is an executive producer for Scott Free Productions along with David W. Zucker and Scott. Laura Hastings-Smith serves as executive producer alongside writer and director Brady Hood (“Top Boy,” “Great Expectations”), who has directed all eight episodes.
