Jessica Chastain slams Apple for postponing ‘The Savant’: ‘Not cool’

Jessica Chastain Disagrees with Apple’s Decision

Jessica Chastain, star of the upcoming Apple TV+ series The Savant, has publicly disagreed with Apple’s decision to pause the release of the show. The show focuses on infiltrating and stopping extremist hate groups online. While Apple’s reasoning for the postponement was vague, many assumed it was due to the recent events surrounding rightwing activist Charlie Kirk’s killing.

Chastain’s Statement

Chastain took to Instagram to express her disagreement with Apple’s decision, stating that the show’s themes are more relevant than ever in today’s climate of violence in the United States. She emphasized the importance of addressing the broader mindset that leads to such violence and praised the heroes who work to prevent it.

Chastain also made clear that she values her partnership with Apple and hopes the show will still reach audiences soon. The original release date was scheduled for Friday, but Apple has not yet provided a new premiere date.

Reviews of the show have not been released, but Variety criticized Apple’s decision, calling it a “huge mistake” and highlighting that The Savant is precisely the type of show America needs at this moment.
