The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey centers around the titular character, a 91-year-old man forgotten by his family, by his friends, by even himself.
The series will be written by author Walter Mosley, who will also serve as an executive producer along with Jackson.
Samuel L. Jackson (The Banker) is set in the titular role while Fishback has signed on to star as Robyn, a friend of the family who helps Ptolemy, with the streamer also having signed White Tiger writer/director Ramin Bahrani to direct and executive produce.
This marks the second collaboration between Jackson and Apple, who have previously worked together in last year’s The Banker.
