Apple TV+ has announced the premiere date for the new conspiracy thriller ‘Prime Target’ alongside a set of first-look images of the series.

Starring Leo Woodall and Quintessa Swindell, the series features a brilliant young math postgraduate, Edward Brooks (played by Woodall), on the verge of a 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, a female 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.
