"The latest series debut from Apple TV+ has been put on ice. The Savant, a buzzy new Jessica Chastain-led thriller originally set to debut this Friday, September 26, has been delayed by the streaming service owing to current events, Apple confirmed on Tuesday. "After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone The Savant," the streamer said in its statement, which Deadline first reported. "We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series at a future date.""
"The show's trailer - which, as of this writing, is still live on YouTube - teases the series' premise: A mother played by Chastain works for an anti-hate group and poses as a white supremacist online. Acting as a sort of counterinsurgent, she infiltrates extremist forums and works to stop violent threats before they happen. As Chastain's character warns in the trailer, which depicts scenes of car bombings, sniper attacks, and arson, "We're on the verge of serious violence.""
