Apple TV+ indefinitely delays its domestic extremism thriller 'The Savant'

Apple has indefinitely delayed the release of its new series "The Savant," which was scheduled to premiere on September 26. The series follows an investigator, played by Jessica Chastain, who infiltrates a domestic extremist group in the US. Apple has not provided a new release date for the show, and the timing and lack of explanation for the delay could be telling. The article suggests that the decision to delay the show might be related to Apple's reluctance to offend or associate its content with politically sensitive topics, particularly those involving right-wing extremism. The company has previously made similar decisions, such as cancelling "The Problem With Jon Stewart" when the host wanted to cover controversial topics like China and artificial intelligence. Overall, the article presents the delay as a cautious move by Apple to avoid potential backlash or controversy, even if it means postponing the release of a series that likely focuses on important issues of domestic extremism and political violence.
