The Savant trailer reveals new Apple TV+ crime series

Crime-related thrillers are a big focus for Apple TV+ in the months ahead.

It starts in September with Slow Horses season 5 and the brand new series The Savant.

The Savant debuts on Friday, September 26 with its first two episodes, followed by weekly releases through November 7.

Apple’s new series is based on a 2019 Cosmopolitan story titled, “Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?”

The new trailer offers a great look at what’s coming:

Jessica Chastain plays the titular “Savant” character and goes undercover in online hate groups with the goal of stopping domestic terrorism before it happens.

As seen in the trailer, this leads to potential harm not only to Chastain’s character, but also her family.

Apple TV+ is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like Ted LassoSeveranceThe Morning ShowSilo, and Shrinking.
