Apple TV+ has released a first-look trailer at Prime Target, a new thriller starring The White Lotus' Leo Woodall that is releasing later this month.
The footage lays out our central premise: Woodall plays a mathematics genius named Edward Brooks, who doubts the rules of numbers that everyone believes govern the world, something his professor (The Walking Dead's David Morrissey) tells him to drop.
Soon enough, he's being targeted by all sorts of shady figures, as his thesis could become to key to unlock every piece of digital security, which would understandably turn the world on its head.

Taylah Sanders (Quintessa Swindell), a NSA agent who has been monitoring him, soon teams up with Edward and the pair initially go on the run, before deciding to strike back.
Created by Sherlock writer Steve Thompson with Ridley Scott's production company on board, the show also stars Game of Thrones' Harry Lloyd, The Crying Game's Stephen Rea, X-Men: First Class' Jason Flemyng, and Borgen's Sidse Babett Knudsen, just to name a few.
