Jessica Chastain Says Apple TV Will Finally Release ‘The Savant’ After Postponement Following Charlie Kirk Assassination: ‘We’re Going to See It’

Apple TV decided to just air the show because their algorithms saw that Charie Kirk wasn't relevant anymore.

> It was supposed to premiere in September 2025 but was postponed following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The Oscar w***** stars in the series as an investigator who goes undercover on the dark web to try to find hate groups and prevent domestic terrorism. > “Before it was like, ‘I don’t know if we’re going to see it,’ but now I can say, ‘We’re going to see it,” Chastain told me exclusively on Saturday at the Breakthrough Prize ceremony in Santa Monica. > When Apple TV announced the postponement on Sept. 23, it said in a statement, “After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone ‘The Savant.’ We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series at a future date.”

What does Charlie Kirk gotta do with that tho I’m confused

Good.

Will watch anything with Chastain.

Still funny to me that they postponed this but aired the season of Slow Horses that opens with an alt right guy getting sniped in the head.

Why did they postpone it in the first place?

They basically had to release it before September to avoid the 1 year anniversary of the event. My money was on them droping every episode in June on the same day just to get things over with. I was off by one month. They still might do a full show drop. We'll wait and see.

Charlie who? Only heard of the guy because he was shot. Then the whole conservative nation tried to make him some sort of saint. All i see is his wife grifting like a Trump

F*** Charlie Kirk, no one with Apple TV gives a shit about him.

At least the Critical Drinker’s review on it will be worth watching

Postponing it was so pointless.

I have high hopes for this show. Apple TV has been the best streaming service in terms of quality shows for years now

Goooood

It looked pretty shit, but it’s a positive when media doesn’t get buried because of political ramifications.

> The series is inspired by a true-life story titled "Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?" .... a woman who has come to be known as "the Savant" who infiltrates online hate groups in order to prevent large-scale public attacks. Oh? That sounds interesting.

Pausing anything for that clown is an embarrassment

Charlie who?

Great news. As much as it sucked for the premier date to be missed, I am happy that it will come out with no mention of that man weighing it down. Its publicity should be about its own merits and not outside events.

I'll believe it when I see a release date

I'm confused, why would the people who care the most about destroying safe spaces and having complete freedom of speech have an issue with this? They aren't snowflakes, right?

F*** Charlie Kirkkk

Counting or not counting Apple TV

Sounds like some slop

I can't see how the two things are related closely enough to affect each other.

the Charlie kirk murder was probobly the best thing that happened to this show. Before it was being presented as "Karen, the Show" basically a show about a middle aged white woman that chases down men who look suspicious to her, The female equivalent of one of those testosterone zero script 80´s action movies with Van Damm or Steven Segal your dad or grandfather use to watch to act out his broken toxic masculinity fantasies. Thanks to Charlie Kirks passing its now being presented as a "brave step against the right wing maga crowd". the only reason this is being released is becuase between the rise in poverty, the decline in living standards and the Iran war has made Maga and Trump really unpopular in the views of the american people, so now they can profit off a show that goes against online right wing terrorism. but never doubt that if maga was still popular, this show would still be locked up in a vault.

The Savant, the story of a suburban woman sitting in her she-shed defending the country from toxic masculinity.

EEOC

Frigging finally! It was always stupid that they postponed this over a useless podcaster especially when they aired Slow Horse.....never made sense.

Looks bad. I doubt it does well.

Who the f*** is Charlie Kirk?

About f****** time.

The left is gonna turn on this show hard when they realize the IRL person was Jewish and worked for the ADL.

Better late than never. But getting cold feet because some right wing douchecanoe got himself killed certainly was a choice, as if that demographic would ever watch something like this.

Crazy how Charlie Kirk’s death was a 9/11 event for half the country and just another Wednsday for the other half.

Well good. Jessica Chastain is America's finest current living actor so far as I can tell.

Streisand Effect. Now I want to see it more than ever.

This show will flop so badly 😂

She bad.

This whole thing was stupid holding it for so long.

Finally!!

That move is gonna have a lot of cake in it.

How was Charlie Kirk involved in this show? It employed women so I doubt he was a producer.

Meanwhile the FX channel has more courage than Apple TV. The Lowdown tv show had a character killed by being shot in the left side of their neck just like Charlie. They showed this episode less than 3 weeks after the assassination and without a warning. Apple TV waits 9 month for a show that just features a right wing podcaster.

I have it on a good authority that this might be one of the worst tv shows of all time. You heard it here first.
