Jessica Chastain's The Savant: New Date After Violence

0:00On April 20th, Jessica Chastain's mini-series, the Savon, is finally dropping after months on hold. The Oscar winner plays an investigator who sneaks into online hate groups to stop extremists. Apple TV pulled it just days before its September 26 premiere last year. The delay hit right after right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk got killed on September 10th. His accused shooter, Tyler Robinson, got caught less than 36 hours later and now faces trial in Utah on murder and gun charges. Chastain spoke out back then, saying she didn't agree with Apple on pausing it, even though she digs working with them. The real world violence made everyone rethink the timing. The story comes from a 2019 Cosmopolitan piece about a real undercover expert called the Savon, who teams with the Anti-Defamation League. To top down, radicalize guys before they snap. Apple hasn't locked in a new date yet, but Chastain's red carpet buzz at the breakthrough prize has fans hyped it's coming soon. Timing feels right now that things have cooled.
