US actress Jessica Chastain has said she is "not aligned" with the decision by AppleTV+ to pause the release of her upcoming streaming series The Savant.

The series, in which the Oscar winner plays an elite investigator who tracks online hate groups, features extremist attacks and imagery.

AppleTV+ said this week that it would postpone the forthcoming drama "after careful consideration". The streaming giant did not elaborate on the decision, though it came in the wake of the killing of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk.

In a post on Instagram, Chastain said the show is relevant to current events and would honour the heroes "who work every day to stop violence before it happens".
