Apple TV reschedules “The Savant,” a thriller starring Jessica Chastain, for spring 2027 after delaying the series in 2025 just days before its planned premiere. Variety and Deadline both report that the show was pulled shortly ahead of a late-September 2025 release date, leaving its rollout uncertain for roughly a year and a half.
Both outlets say Apple TV is now moving forward, with the timing still being finalized. Deadline reports the change comes about a year after Apple TV put the thriller on hold three days before its Sept. 26, 2025 premiere. Variety similarly describes the pull occurring days before the Sept. 23, 2025 premiere window. Variety adds that the rescheduled launch is set for spring 2027 and notes the company’s decision follows upcoming U.S. midterm elections, while Deadline focuses more on the rescheduling itself and eligibility considerations tied to the new release timing.
