Jessica Chastain says Apple made a "mistake" delaying her Apple series "The Savant" after Charlie Kirk's assassination and stands by calling out the company. “I felt responsible to a lot of people, to all of the actors in the series… to the real person I played, I felt accountability to her because of the sacrifices that she’s made and the difficult things she’s done to keep us all safe. I really had to go on record that I thought [the postponement] was a mistake… I learned that it’s OK to be honest. You can be honest in a kind and respectful way and feel like you’re still speaking your truth, you’re still authentic to who you are without being fearful of – I don’t know – I guess of never working again. Again, women are [supposed] to feel grateful. Well, we can be grateful and we can also be honest about things. We can be both things at once.” (via Porter) Chastain stars in "The Savant" as a woman whose job is to infiltrate online forums in which white supremacists gather and sometimes plan domestic terrorist attacks. The show was originally set to premiere Sept. 23, 2025 but was pulled from Apple TV’s schedule just days before release in the wake of Kirk's assassination. "The Savant" is now set to stream in November. variety.com/2026/more/news/j…
