Jessica Chastain’s Apple TV show will finally see the light of day after it was postponed by the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The Savant, a political thriller starring Chastain as an investigator fighting domestic terrorism, was set to premiere in September 2025, but was pulled after Kirk, a conservative commentator, was killed while speaking at Utah Valley University that month.

Now, Chastain has told Variety that the streamer will go ahead with releasing the series on the platform.

“Before it was like, ‘I don’t know if we’re going to see it,’” the 49-year-old Oscar winner told the outlet Saturday at the Breakthrough Prize ceremony. “But now I can say, ‘We’re going to see it.’”

Apple is reportedly planning to release the show in July, according to Variety. The streamer did not immediately return The Independent’s request for comment.
