novel of the same name. The series tells the story of two young people who become best friends after a platonic one-night stand. Woodall received critical acclaim for his performance. Writing for

breakthrough in Woodall’s career. In 2025, Woodall played the lead role of a mathematician in the
Apple TV+ thriller series
