New Apple TV+ thriller series Prime Target follows a maths genius on the verge of a breakthrough, who finds himself the target of an international conspiracy. Said genius, Edward Brooks, is played by One Day star Leo Woodall, while Quintessa Swindell, Stephen Rea, David Morrissey, Martha Plimpton and Harry Lloyd all play crucial roles.
