Apple TV's long-awaited series, The Savant, starring Jessica Chastain, will finally arrive on the streaming service this summer, following a seven-month delay after the Charlie Kirk assassination. The series, which follows an undercover investigator played by Chastian who infiltrates domestic extremist groups to prevent major attacks, was initially scheduled to premiere in September 2025 before being abruptly withdrawn from the schedule following Kirk's death.
