Today, Apple TV+ unveiled a first look at “The Savant,” the gripping eight-episode limited series starring and executive produced by Academy Award, SAG Award, Golden Globe Award and Critics Choice Award winner Jessica Chastain (“The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” “The Good Nurse,” “George & Tammy,” Broadway’s “A Doll’s House”). The suspenseful, high-stakes series will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Friday, 26 September 2025 followed by new episodes every Friday through 7 November 2025.

The tense and thrilling series follows an undercover investigator known as “The Savant” (Chastain) as she infiltrates online hate groups in an effort to stop domestic extremists before they act. The cast of “The Savant” is also led by Nnamdi Asomugha, Cole Doman, Jordana Spiro, Trinity Lee Shirley, Toussaint Francois Battiste and guest star Pablo Schreiber.

Hailing from FIFTH SEASON, “The Savant” is executive produced by Chastain and Kelly Carmichael for Freckle Films, Emmy Award winner Alan Poul (“Six Feet Under,” “Tokyo Vice”), Emmy Award nominee Melissa James Gibson (“Anatomy of a Scandal,” “House of Cards,” “The Americans”), and six-time Emmy Award winner and two-time DGA Award winner Matthew Heineman (“A Private War,” “Retrograde,” “Cartel Land”). David Levine and Garrett Kemble serve as executive producers for Anonymous Content. Andrea Stanley, writer of the original Cosmopolitan feature, serves as a consultant.
