Varsity Apple TV Filming
Trinity Productions filmed in the Rowing Tank for an upcoming Apple TV Series called ‘Varsity’ in May.
The show is a conspiracy thriller about a brilliant young maths post graduate on the verge of a major breakthrough; if he were to succeed in finding a pattern in prime numbers he would hold the keys to every computer in the world.
In a nod to the great paranoid conspiracy thrillers of the 70s, the show is about lethal adversaries, epic stakes and personal brilliance against the odds. Steve Thompson (Sherlock, Vienna Blood) is the creator & writer and New Regency (12 Years A Slave, Bohemian Rhapsody) & Ridley Scott’s company Scott Free (Taboo, The Good Fight) are producing.
