Months after The Savant was scheduled to premiere on Apple TV, the political thriller may finally see the light of day, according to headliner Jessica Chastain.
Apple TV postponed the release of The Savant in September 2025, days after the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, but Chastain told Variety a new premiere date for the limited series is forthcoming.
