About ‘Prime Target’
“Prime Target” is an eight-episode conspiracy thriller series that follows Edward Brooks, a brilliant mathematician who cracks a prime number pattern capable of unlocking every computer system in the world, thrusting him into the spotlight - and into danger. When powerful forces who are determined to bury his discovery close in, Brooks goes on the run to protect his work. Meanwhile, NSA agent Taylah Sanders, played by Quintessa Swindell (“Black Adam”), has been monitoring Brooks and uncovers a deeper conspiracy, forcing her to join him in a fight for the truth. Created by award-winning writer Steve Thompson (“Vienna Blood” and “Sherlock”) and directed by Brady Wood, the series should be a lot of fun.

Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) is a subscription video streaming service for $14.99 per month, offering a growing slate of original series, films, documentaries, and specials.
