“What if numbers didn’t be have we assumed? What if we’re not in control?” Then what happens? Apple TV has revealed an official trailer for a new conspiracy thriller series called Prime Target. Created by writer Steve Thompson, this new series will arrive for streaming later in January – with new episodes debuting into March. A brilliant young mathematician is on the verge of a major breakthrough when he realizes an unseen enemy is trying to destroy his idea. Together with a government agent who’s been tracking him, he begins to unravel a troubling conspiracy. Prime Target stars Leo Woodall as mathematician Edward Brooks, and Quintessa Swindell, plus a supporting cast with Stephen Rea, David Morrissey, Martha Plimpton, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jason Flemyng, Harry Lloyd, Ali Suliman, Fra Fee, and Joseph Mydell. This looks mostly entertaining – with some good set pieces. It seems like this kid has created a cypher that is the same one from Sneakers, a code which can defeat encryption of any kind. Very interesting, worth a look.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Apple TV’s series Prime Target, direct from YouTube:
