I honestly thought that this was going to be a romantic comedy, and boy, was I wrong. Today, Apple TV+ released the first official trailer for Lessons in Chemistry, its upcoming drama starring Brie Larson and Lewis Pullman. The series, which tells the story of a chemist turned television host, will premiere on the streaming service on October 13th.
The first official trailer for the series proves that it is most definitely not a romantic comedy (facepalm) and, instead, a compelling story about a woman who makes waves after speaking out on her television show. You can watch the trailer for the new series below:
What is Lessons in Chemistry about?
Lessons in Chemistry tells the story of Elizabeth Zott, a chemist who, after having her career in science put on hold, causes waves after becoming a television host.
Set in the early 1950s, “Lessons in Chemistry” follows Elizabeth Zott (played by Larson), whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a patriarchal society. When Elizabeth finds herself fired from her lab, 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.
In addition to Larson Pullman, the series stars NAACP Image Award winner Aja Naomi King (“How to Get Away with Murder,” “The Birth of a Nation”), Stephanie Koenig (“The Flight Attendant,” “The Offer”), Kevin Sussman (The Big Bang Theory,” “The Dropout”), Patrick Walker (“Gaslit,” “The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey”) and Thomas Mann (“Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty,” “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”).
Lessons in Chemistry will have a two-episode premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 13th, with each additional episode releasing every Friday until the finale on November 24, 2023.
