One Day star Leo Woodall already has another TV series ready to hit screens, having filmed the eight-part Apple TV series Prime Target.
The actor who was praised for his role as Dexter Mayhew, was seen filming scenes for his new thriller in Cambridge last summer.
In Apple’s synopsis, Edwards hopes to crack the code that will allow him access to all the computers in the world.
He says: “He soon begins to realize that an invisible enemy is trying to destroy his idea before it is even born, which throws him into the orbit of Taylah Sanders, an NSA agent, played by Swindell, who is has been entrusted with the task of observing and reporting on the behavior of mathematicians,” the synopsis continues.
“Together, they begin to piece together the disturbing conspiracy that Edward is at the center of.”
Lion, who first rose to fame after his appearance in the second season of White Lotus as Jack, spoke about his experience in this month’s GQ Hype.
He initially wanted to pursue a career as a physical education teacher or specialist, but it was not until his late teens that he decided to pursue acting.
Inspired by his performances in gritty British dramas Skins and Peaky Blinders, he enrolled in drama school at age 19 before landing his first acting job in the short film, Man Down.
In One Day, his character Dexter spends the night with Emma on her last night of college and the series follows their relationship on the same date for the next 20 years.
The two come in and out of each other’s lives, mainly due to the difficulty Emma has with Dexter’s personality change after achieving a low level of fame.
In Prime Target, Leo plays genius mathematician Edward Brook and was seen riding a bike by the colorful Backs.
He will star alongside Quintessa Swindell, who plays NSA agent Taylah Sanders, who has been ordered to control her behavior.
At the time, Dexter is battling his mother’s terminal illness and one scene shows him arriving late at his family’s house after a night of cocaine-fueled partying.
Alison, Dexter’s mother. [Essie Davis] gives him some truths about the person he has become after getting drunk and falling asleep in his childhood bedroom.
After his visit, his father Stephen [Tim McInnerny] He drops him off at the station and gives him both barrels about his recent behavior.
Speaking about the scene, Leo told the publication: “It was f***ing scary to film it.” You don’t even see the worst of this. There were shots where, from ‘Action!’ He just wiped me out. It was like there was a tiger in the car.’
Leo admitted that after filming the show he agrees that his character Dexter can be a ‘t**t’, because of the way he treats the people who love him.
He said: “I know they say don’t judge a character, but in hindsight I can say it’s up the ass.” He is getting a little more fame, he is enjoying it, but there is a small part of him that is convincing himself that he is enjoying it.”
Since the show launched on Netflix, it has remained at number one on the streaming platform in 33 countries.
In Apple’s synopsis, Edwards hopes to crack the code that will allow him access to all the computers in the world.
Leo looks set to become a household name after his starring role as Dexter Mayhew alongside Ambika Mod’s Emma Morley in the TV adaptation of David Nicholls’ One Day.
Its initial success is compared to the Sally Rooney adaptation Normal People, which follows Marianne Sheridan. [Daisy Edgar-Jones] and Connell Waldron [Paul Mescal] as they enter and exit each other’s lives in similar ways.
However, Leo has insisted that he does not want the two coming-of-age dramas to be compared.
He said: “Normal People was a masterpiece, but I don’t think it’s all that comparable.” It’s something unique, it was filmed so beautifully. I don’t want to be compared to that.
‘One Day has a comedy aspect, but then it turns dark, it swings. We’ll see if it has the effect of erasing my anonymity like it did with Paul Mescal. I hope that’s not the case, but I really want the show to do well.”
