In addition, Snoopy is back on Apple TV+, while Dear… includes a roster of celebes, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jane Fonda, Viola Davis and more.
Samuel L. Jackson returns to Apple TV+ in The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey
The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey is a limited series adapted from a novel about a 91 year old man (Samuel L. Jackson) suffering from dementia who takes an experimental drug that revives the clarity of his mind and energy of his body. But there’s an inescapable side effect: he won’t live to 92.
The first episodes will debut globally on Friday, March 11 on Apple TV+.
Fans of Samuel L. Jackson can watch him in The Banker, which is already available on the streaming service.
Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway star in WeCrashed
WeCrashed is a “ripped from the headlines” tale of WeWorked, a company once worth $47 billion that dropped to $10 billion amid questions about how the business was managed. Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway take the leads as the controversial founder and his wife/fellow WeWork executive.
The first three episodes of WeCrashed will debut on March 18, 2022. They’ll be followed by new weekly installments each Friday during its eight-episode season.
The Snoopy Show returns for season 2 of canine hijinks
Snoopy is a celebrity too, and the second season of his Apple TV+ series premiers Friday, March 11. In the new season of the The Snoopy Show, Charlie Brown’s imaginative beagle becomes a pirate, a king, a superhero, a rocketeer and more.
The first season — available to stream now — has a 100% approval rating on the review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes.
Apple TV+’s Dear… is all about celebrities
Dear… takes an unusual approach to biographies by using letters written to the celebrities by ordinary people whose lives have been changed in some way through their work.

Sweeping multinational drama Pachinko also premieres in March
To wrap up the month, March 25 will bring Pachinko to Apple TV+. This adaptation of a New York Times bestselling novel takes place across three countries and stars an internationally renowned cast.
It begins with a forbidden love and crescendos into a sweeping saga that journeys between Korea, Japan and America to tell an unforgettable story of war and peace, love and loss, triumph and reckoning.

So many celebrities are on Apple TV+
Apple knows that big subscription numbers don’t come without big stars, and its streaming service has plenty of them. There’s Jennifer Anniston, Billy Crudup and Reese Witherspoon in The Morning Show. Jason Momoa stars in See. Justin Timberlake showed off his acting chops in Palmer. Or Bill Murray and Rashida Jones took the leads in On the Rocks.
Watching any or all of these comes with a $4.99-per-month subscription to Apple’s streaming service. This can be accessed from a wide variety of devices, including Roku, Amazon Fire and smart TVs. Or any Apple computer, of course.
