Apple TV Plus has postponed the release of its upcoming series, The Savant, which was originally set to premiere this Friday. The reason for this decision remains unclear, and it is uncertain when the show will now debut.
The Savant is based on Andrea Stanley’s 2019 article in Cosmopolitan, titled “Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?” The series stars Jessica Chastain as investigator Jodi Goodwin, who infiltrates an online group of U.S. extremists plotting a terrorist attack. In promotional materials, Goodwin’s character focuses on tracking down individuals involved in serious violent acts, highlighting her mission to understand and thwart their plans.
Apple has indicated that the decision to delay the series was made after careful consideration, but has not provided further details regarding the reasoning behind the postponement. A statement released by the company mentioned that they still intend to release The Savant at a future date, expressing appreciation for viewers’ understanding of this change.
As of now, no additional information has been given about the timeline for the show’s release or the factors influencing the change in schedule.
