- Chastain recently confirmed to Variety that the series will be released, with Apple reportedly targeting a July 2025 release, though no official announcement has been made yet.
- The Savant's delay was speculated to be due to its themes of online hate groups and domestic terrorism, which Apple may have found too sensitive following a recent political assassination.
