In Apple TV+’s new espionage thriller, “Prime Target,” created by Steve Thompson, Cambridge University Ph.D. candidate Edward Brooks (Leo Woodall) is on the cusp of uncovering a new way to view prime numbers.

Leo Woodall ('One Day') plays a brilliant graduate student whose work puts him in the crosshairs of a global conspiracy.

A formulaic eight-part thriller, Prime Target revolves around an outstanding but standoffish Cambridge postgrad mathematician called Edward, whose esoteric research into prime numbers sequences inadvertently gives him the tools to access any computer and control the entire digital world.
