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

Apple has pulled its upcoming show The Savant from its Apple TV+ schedule, possibly due to its subject matter.

Apple has delayed the release of its new series The Savant just three days before it was supposed to premiere on September 26, Deadline reports. Apple does business in China, so it seems likely the company was skittish about airing anything that could be viewed as criticism, even if having difficult conversations was the premise of Stewart's show. The decision to pull The Savant, even if despite reading like the company is worried about offending right-wing extremists, was likely made from a similar place of caution.
