Jessica Chastain has spoken out against Apple TV+’s decision to delay her new series The Savant. Apple TV+ announced they would be delaying The Savant three days before it was slated to premiere, citing the tense political environment in the wake of the assassination of far-right commentator Charlie Kirk.
The Savant follows Chastain as Jodi Godwin, a tech-savvy investigator who infiltrated online hate groups, assisting the federal government in stopping domestic attacks. In recent weeks, all areas of Hollywood have been under fire, from South Park’s headline-grabbing twenty-seventh season, to Jimmy Kimmel’s recent suspension from and return to late night.
In a statement released to Instagram, Chastain expressed gratitude for her partnership with the streamer while still pointing out that she disagrees with their decision to delay The Savant.
