This mindless violence was ultimately the responsible party for the assassination of Charlie, an event that shook the country to its core and even made his staunchest non-supporters stand in his corner. He was shot dead while hosting a discussion at Utah Valley University on September 10. The authorities have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson for the murder of Charlie. Apple is yet to provide any explanation behind this move, while a representative of the company just told the media that, “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.”

In earlier comments about the show, Chastain talked about the nature of the story and told Radio Times, “I hate it. I hate that there are mass acts of violence. But maybe through this conversation and through unearthing this darkness in society, then we’re going to work together to fix it.” Melissa James Gibson is the writer, executive producer and showrunner for Savant, and the cast of the show also includes Cole Doman, Jordana Spiro, Trinity Lee Shirley, Toussaint Francois Battiste, James Badge Dale and guest star Pablo Schreiber.

The show’s initial release was planned for September 26.
