Less than two weeks after the temporary suspension of the ABC show Jimmy Kimmel, Apple TV+ postponed the release of their crime thriller «Savant» starring Jessica Chastain. The actress immediately spoke out about the decision, causing many to wonder if the show would be canceled.
Find out what is happening with «Savant» and its fate below.
No, despite some confusion online, «Savant» has not been canceled by Apple; however, its release has been postponed. The news came shortly after the murder of Charlie Kirk.
«Savant» was supposed to premiere on the streaming platform on September 24, 2025.
In a statement from Apple, obtained by Variety, the company did not specify the reasons for the delay in the release of «Savant». The statement reads: «After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone the release of 'Savant.' We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the show’s release in the future».
Jessica spoke out about Apple’s unexpected decision in a lengthy statement on social media. The actress began her message by emphasizing how much she values her «partnership» with Apple, calling them «incredible collaborators».
«However, I would like to inform you that we disagree with the decision to postpone the release of 'Savant'», - wrote the actress of «Zero Dark Thirty», - citing several instances of political violence in recent years. «Over the past five years, while we were filming the show, we have encountered an unpleasant amount of violence in the United States: the attempted kidnapping of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer; the January 6 attack on the Capitol; assassination attempts on President [Donald] Trump; political killings of Democratic representatives in Minnesota; an attack on Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi’s husband; the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk; a recent shooting at an ABC-affiliated station in California; and over 300 school shootings across the country. These incidents, while far from covering the full spectrum of violence observed in the United States, illustrate a broader mentality that crosses the political spectrum and must be overcome».
Jessica continued: «I have never shied away from difficult topics, and while I wish this show were less relevant, unfortunately, it is. 'Savant' tells the story of heroes who work every day to prevent violence before it occurs, and honoring their courage seems more relevant than ever. While I respect Apple’s decision to suspend the release for now, I remain hopeful that the show will reach the audience soon. Until then, I wish safety and strength to everyone, and I will inform you if and when 'Savant' is released».
The official description of «Savant» indicates that Jessica’s character, Jodi Goodwin, is a «secret investigator known as 'Savant,' who infiltrates online hate groups in an attempt to stop domestic extremists before their actions»
