Apple TV Plus has quietly pulled its new show about domestic extremism

Apple TV Plus has quietly pulled its new show "The Savant," which was scheduled to premiere this Friday. The show, based on a 2019 Cosmopolitan article, follows an investigator, Jodi Goodwin (Jessica Chastain), as she infiltrates an online group of US extremists planning a deadly terror attack. The decision to postpone the show's release comes just days after the shooting of Charlie Kirk and Disney's initial decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air after its host made a joke about President Donald Trump's response to the event. The Savant's subject matter, which focuses on domestic terrorism, seems to be the reason behind Apple's decision. Apple has not provided a clear explanation for the postponement, but it suggests the company may have wanted to avoid potential backlash or controversy surrounding the show's content. However, the issue of domestic terrorism remains a pressing concern in the US, and the show's postponement does not diminish its relevance.
