The eight episode series will launch with the first two episodes, followed by one episode weekly, every Wednesday through March 5.
Woodall stars as brilliant young math postgraduate, Edward Brooks 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.
