The drama, starring Samuel L. Jackson as the titular Grey, is adapted from Walter Mosley’s acclaimed novel. 

Last month, we looked at first images from Apple TV+’s take on The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey. The drama, which launches in March, sees Samuel L. Jackson tale on the role of a man in the grip of dementia who receives a miracle cure.

Here’s the synopsis:

The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey stars Samuel L. Jackson as Ptolemy Grey, an ailing man forgotten by his family, by his friends, and by even himself. Suddenly left without his trusted caretaker and on the brink of sinking even deeper into a lonely dementia, Ptolemy is assigned to the care of orphaned teenager Robyn, played by Dominique Fishback. When they learn about a treatment that can restore Ptolemy’s dementia-addled memories, it begins a journey toward shocking truths about the past, present and future.

To be honest, when Samuel L. Jackson does *anything* it tends to draw our attention. He’s executive produced this adaptation and, frankly, and the trailer speaks for itself:

‘Nothing is more powerful than a mind set free’

Get ready for an immersive and emotional ride!

The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey runs for six episodes. Apple TV+ are dropping the first two instalments on Friday the 11th of March. with subsequent instalments landing weekly.
