Apple TV+ has set a premiere date for the new series Lessons in Chemistry. The first two episodes of the series will be released on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 13th. After this date, new episodes will be released weekly until November 24th totaling eight episodes.
This limited series is based on the debut novel of the same name by Bonnie Garmus. Published on March 29th, 2022, the plot centers around a chemist named Elizabeth Zott.
Zott must fight against the patriarchal norms of the 1950s. To financially grapple with her reality as a young, single mother, she ends up becoming a star of a cooking show rather than pursuing her dream as a scientist. Her cooking show ends up providing more than just cooking instructions as she encourages her audience to fight back against the status quo.
Actor Brie Larson (Captain Marvel, Room) not only plays Elizabeth Zott in the series but she is also an executive producer of the series.
The series, as Deadline outlines, also stars Lewis Pullman (Press Play, Top Gun: Maverick) as Calvin Evans, Aja Naomi King (How to Get Away with Murder, Boxing Day) as Harriet Slone, Stephanie Koenig (The Flight Attendant, A Spy Movie) as Fran Frask, and many more.
In addition to Larson as a producer, another executive producer is Susannah Grant (Catch and Release, Erin Brockovich). Lee Eisenberg (The Office, Little America) serves as the showrunner for the series.
Back in March of this year, the author Bonnie Garmus spoke to Penguin Books and shared her feelings about the series. Garmus stated, in regards to the crew and cast, “I think I’m in really good hands.”
Now with the series having a set premiere date, fans can look forward to seeing Bonnie Garmus’ novel Lessons in Chemistry be brought to life in just a few months.
