Samuel L. Jackson will star in Apple's upcoming six-episode miniseries "The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey", which is based on the novel of the same name by Walter Mosley. Mosley will adapt the book for the screen.
The limited series tells the story of Ptolemy Grey (Jackson), 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.
Jackson and Mosley will also executive produce alongside David Levine, Eli Selden and Diane Houslin. This will be the second collaboration between Apple TV+ and Jackson following the 2020 film "The Banker".
Jackson is also set to reprise his role as Nick Fury in the Marvel/Disney+ limited series based on the "Secret Invasion" comics opposite Ben Mendelsohn. He's also attached to star in the sequel "The Hitman Wife's Bodyguard", "The Asset", "Spiral" and will voice the animated film "Blazing Samurai".
