Samuel L. Jackson will star in and executive produce Apple TV+’s limited series adaption of “The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey.”
Walter Mosley, who wrote the acclaimed best-seller, will also write the adaptation and executive produce as well. Apple Studios will produce the project in-house.
Jackson stars as Ptolemy Grey, a 91-year-old man forgotten by his family, by his friends, by even himself. On the brink of sinking even deeper into lonely dementia, Ptolemy experiences a seismic shift when he’s given the tremendous opportunity to briefly regain his memories, and uses this precious and fleeting lucidity to solve his nephew’s death and come to terms with his past.
