Jessica Chastain says Apple TV is finally going to release her political thriller series “The Savant.”

It was supposed to premiere in September 2025 but was postponed following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The Oscar winner stars in the series as an investigator who goes undercover on the dark web to try to find hate groups and prevent domestic terrorism.

“Before it was like, ‘I don’t know if we’re going to see it,’ but now I can say, ‘We’re going to see it,” Chastain told me exclusively on Saturday at the Breakthrough Prize ceremony in Santa Monica.
