Apple TV+ announce a series order for new, eight-episode one-hour conspiracy thriller "Prime Target," starring SAG Award winner Leo Woodall ("The White Lotus," "One Day") and Quintessa Swindell ("Black Adam," "In Treatment"). Created by award-winning 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. Acclaimed writer and director Brady Hood ("Top Boy," "Great Expectations") directed all eight episodes and also serves as executive producer.

"Prime Target" features a brilliant young math post-graduate, Edward Brooks, played by Woodall, 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, a female NSA agent, played by Swindell, who's been tasked with watching and reporting on mathematicians' behavior. Together they start to piece together the troubling conspiracy Edward is at the heart of.

Ed Rubin serves as executive producer for New Regency alongside Beth Pattinson, Emma Broughton, Yariv Milchan, Arnon Milchan and Michael Schaefer. Marina Brackenbury is executive producer for Scott Free along with David W. Zucker and Ridley Scott. Series producer is Laura Hastings-Smith, who also serves as executive producer.
