The more products and services that Apple offers, the more likely it is to cross paths with modern events. While Apple had nothing to do with the murder of Charlie Kirk, it felt the need to push a show’s debut that hit a little too close to home.
According to a report from Variety, The Savant will finally debut in July 2026, nearly a year from its original air date. Apple hasn’t updated its release date information on the website, but the news comes direct from show lead Jessica Chastain.
