- Jessica Chastain expressed on Instagram that she is not aligned with the pause, emphasizing the show's focus on heroes preventing violence and her respect for Apple TV+ collaborators.

- The postponement highlights the impact of U.S. political violence on entertainment scheduling and suggests ongoing challenges in balancing timely content with social context.
