Jessica Chastain Set to Star in The Savant from Fifth Season

Jessica Chastain is set to star in THE SAVANT, a limited series for Apple from Fifth Season, where Michael Ashjian serves as Senior Counsel, Business and Legal Affairs, and Anonymous Content.

Michael Ashjian is Senior Counsel, Business and Legal Affairs at Fifth Season (formerly Endeavor Content). Since 2019, he has been the executive on the project responsible for negotiating and closing all talent deals.

The series is inspired by a true story published in Cosmopolitan in August 2019 about a woman who became known as “the Savant” as she infiltrated hate groups online to help stop large-scale public attacks. Jessica Chastain won an Academy Award in 2022 for her performance in THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE.
