Captivating Trailer for Apple TV+ Counter Terrorist Thriller Series THE SAVANT Starring Jessica Chastain
Apple TV+ has released a trailer for the upcoming thriller series The Savant, starring Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty, The Eyes of Tammy Faye).
In the series, “The tense, high-stakes thriller follows an undercover investigator known as "The Savant" (starring Jessica Chastain) as she infiltrates online hate groups in an effort to stop domestic extremists before they act.
“The series is reportedly inspired by a true-life story entitled ‘Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?’ which featured in Cosmopolitan in August 2019 of a woman who has come to be known as "the Savant" who infiltrates online hate-groups in order to prevent large-scale public attacks.”
She is joined in the cast by Nnamdi Asomugha, Cole Doman, Jordana Spiro, Trinity Lee Shirley, Toussaint Francois Battiste, and Pablo Schreiber.
The series was created by writer Melissa James Gibson (The Americans, House of Cards), with additional writing from Frank Pugliese, Jerome Hairston, Amy Herzog, and James Anthony Tyler. Andrea Stanley, the writer of the original Cosmopolitan feature, serves as a consultant. Series episodes are directed by Matthew Heineman (Cartel Land, Retrograde, American Symphony).
This looks like a super intriguing series with great acting and story. Check out the trailer below, and watch The Savant when it kicks off on Apple on September 26th.
