The Last Days Of Ptolemy Grey (Samuel L. Jackson/Apple)

[Hoke Moseley]

Apple TV+ has greenlighted The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, a six-episode limited series starring and executive produced by Samuel L. Jackson. It is based on the acclaimed novel by best-selling author Walter Mosley who will write the screen adaptation and executive produce.

In the series, produced by Apple Studios, 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 a 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.
