Apple TV+ Teases “Lessons in Chemistry”

“Lessons in Chemistry” is a new drama series starring and executive produced by Brie Larson.

15 AUGUST 2022 - The world has gotten the smallest of first looks at an upcoming Apple TV+ series. The Cupertino-streamer issued a press release Friday teasing the series “Lessons in Chemistry.” The first look consists of - literally - two photographs and a synopsis. “Set in the early 1950s,” says said synopsis:

…“Lessons in Chemistry” follows Elizabeth Zott (…), whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a society deeming that women belong in the domestic sphere, not the professional one. When Elizabeth finds herself pregnant, alone and fired from her lab, she musters the ingenuity only a single mother has. She accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives – and the men who are suddenly listening – a lot more than recipes … all the while craving a return to her true love: science.

Academy Award winner Brie Larson (“Room,” “Captain Marvel”) plays Zott. She also serves as one of the show’s executive producers. Principal photography is underway now (hence the two photographs). “Lessons in Chemistry” hits Apple TV+ sometime in 2023.
