“Judas and the Black Messiah” co-star Dominique Fishback is set as a lead alongside Samuel L. Jackson in Apple TV+’s upcoming “The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey” limited series, reports Deadline. “The White Tiger” writer-director-producer Ramin Bahari has signed on to direct and executive produce.
Here’s the description of the series: The six-episode series is based on the novel of the same name by Walter Mosley, who will adapt the book for the screen. Jackson stars as the titular 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.
Jackson and Mosley will both executive produce the series, along with David Levine and Eli Selden of Anonymous Content and Diane Houslin. Apple Studios will produce.
