Jodi is a woman with secrets that she keeps hidden from others. The trailer sets the tone that the series is going to be filled with action and thrill, along with the depiction of how dangerous the world of crime actually is.

It cannot be denied that the premise of the show is truly quite relevant to the situation that the world is in now. Safety is questioned every step of the way.

Hence, the anticipation to watch the show rose from the very moment of its announcement.

Along with Jessica Chastain, The Savant also features other talented actors. The former football star Nnamdi Asomugha, famed for his works in The Knife, Crown Heights, and many more, joins the series as well. He takes the role of Charlie Goodwin in the series. Besides Nnamdi Asomugha, some other cast members are Pablo Schreiber, James Badge Dale, Cole Doman, etc.

The series comes with a promising cast. It is undeniable that the storyline of The Savant would definitely leave a lasting impact.

The creators of the series will also hopefully release an official statement regarding the reason for the postponement.

The postponement of the series raised arguments among the fans of crime thrillers. On one hand, people are siding with the decision of postponement, claiming it to be a sensitive time to release a show with a premise like this, and on the other, some are saying that this should be the exact time to release such a relevant show to raise further awareness amongst the people.
