In August of last year, Apple TV (then Apple TV+) released a trailer for its then-upcoming miniseries, The Savant. The show was set to debut on September 26, 2025 and conclude on November 7.
Starring Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain, Wikipedia summarizes The Savant thusly:
The series is inspired by a true-life story titled "Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?" which featured in Cosmopolitan in August 2019 of a woman who has come to be known as "the Savant" who infiltrates online hate groups in order to prevent large-scale public attacks. It covers the division of the Anti-Defamation League that infiltrates online hate groups.
On September 23, 2025, in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Apple announced they were postponing The Savant. They didn’t give a reason or provide a new premiere date, and that was that. Obviously, the people who made the series — including Chastain — were not happy about the decision, which was largely criticized as cowardly.
It’s been a year now, and not a peep from Apple on the show. Is this thing going to languish in the vaults forever? This is the same company that capitulated to the regime’s “Gulf of America” and “Lake America” horseshit, so my hopes aren’t high.
But man, I was really looking forward to seeing this miniseries.
