The Savant (Apple TV+) S: Jessica Chastain, Nnamdi Asomugha, Cole Doman -- premieres 9/26/2025




By day, Jodi is your average suburban mom. By night, she’s uncovering the darkest corners of the internet. Jessia Chastain is The Savant premiering September 26 on Apple TV+

The tense and thrilling series follows an undercover investigator known as “The Savant” (Chastain) as she infiltrates online hate groups in an effort to stop domestic extremists before they act. The cast of “The Savant” is also led by Nnamdi Asomugha, Cole Doman, Jordana Spiro, Trinity Lee Shirley, Toussaint Francois Battiste and guest star Pablo Schreiber.

Hailing from FIFTH SEASON, “The Savant” is executive produced by Chastain and Kelly Carmichael for Freckle Films, Emmy Award winner Alan Poul (“Six Feet Under,” “Tokyo Vice”), Emmy Award nominee Melissa James Gibson (“Anatomy of a Scandal,” “House of Cards,” “The Americans”), and six-time Emmy Award winner and two-time DGA Award winner Matthew Heineman (“A Private War,” “Retrograde,” “Cartel Land”). David Levine and Garrett Kemble serve as executive producers for Anonymous Content. Andrea Stanley, writer of the original Cosmopolitan feature, serves as a consultant.

Looks good... then again I'm down for pretty much anything with Jessica Chastain.

What the heck… I was looking forward to this. Pulled until an unknown date.


The Savant, the upcoming Apple TV Plus show about law enforcement working to prevent domestic terrorism, was slated to premiere this Friday. But the streamer has quietly pulled the series from its release slate and it’s not clear if or when it will now debut.

Everything I've seen says it was delayed indefinitely.

That sucks. Everyone is scared about pissing off the politicians.

Chastain's statement. She does not support the delay of the show

So, the show is about stopping extremists and it's being delayed because Apple is worried they may hurt the feelings of extremists?

Extremists have feelings too!

Sounds like this might not air anytime soon if ever. I know you all hate hyperbolic overreacting by networks.

The article reads as a longer in depth version of the one I posted when the news hit. I hope it finally does come out. If Apple pulls it permanently due to <redacted political comments>...

If you want to stay off of Xitter, here's the direct link:

In all fairness, the trailer didn't make it look all that great. I am guessing this is all marketing BS to drum up outrage based interest in a dud.

So is that a former football player in the cast? I think he played for the eagles or similar name?

Yes, he's an actor now and is married to actress Kerry Washington

The married part I knew.
Maybe I knew he was acting too and forgot

Will finally see the light of day. Chastain confirmed it’s getting released. Variety says it’s coming in July.
