In 2022, Bonnie Garmus’s book Lessons in Chemistry became a best-selling hit of the summer. Apple has now adapted the novel for the screen, with Lessons in Chemistry starring Brie Larson as Elizabeth Zott, streaming now on Apple TV+.
In Lessons in Chemistry, Elizabeth Zott (played by Brie Larson) is a genius upcoming scientist who struggles to get a foothold on the career ladder as a chemist, her brilliance having been diminished by the patriarchal nature of the scientific culture of the 1960’s.
Fired from her job in the lab, she instead gets an opportunity to host a cooking show on TV. In this environment, her exacting standards and attention to detail shine, and her show blossoms in popularity. She ends up teaching her avid fanbase a lot more than cooking lessons.
Alongside Larson, Lessons in Chemistry also stars Lewis Pullman, Aja Naomi King and Stephanie Koenig. The series was created by Lee Eisenberg, who also produced Apple’s WeCrashed and Little America series.
