It's finally safe for Jessica Chastain's The Savant to hunt hate groups again

At the time, Apple put out an explanation that their series about the seemingly clear-cut idea that racists, bigots, and violent right-wing militia types are a bad thing was somehow not right for the moment after one of Donald Trump’s favorite White House guests was shot by one of the Second Amendment enthusiasts he was so fond of. Apple, covering themselves in corporate courage, said about their initial decision not to air the series about the real-life exploits of activists chronicled in the 2019 Cosmopolitan article “Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?,” “After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone The Savant. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series at a future date.”

Now why any group or individual not affiliated with violent, right-wing hate groups would object to a series where a brave female agent uncovers the faces behind the actual and metaphorical masks of secret bigots and fascists walking American streets is a really good question. But Apple only noted in its statement to Deadline that the streamer was finally reversing its original decision to scuttle the high-profile series three days after Kirk’s murder, with The Savant now scheduled to be released sometime in spring, 2027. Thankfully, there will be no secret white supremacists guaranteed to be outraged by the time it comes out.
