Brie Larson challenges the status quo from the kitchen in the new trailer for Apple TV+’s Lessons in Chemistry – streaming on October 13
Apple TV+ has shared a new trailer for Brie Larson’s LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY. Based on the acclaimed, best-selling novel by Bonnie Garmus, the limited series follows Elizabeth Zott (played by Larson) who challenges the misogyny of the times from the comfort of her TV kitchen. 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.
The eight-episode limited series makes its global debut on Friday, October 13, 2023, on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes, and new episodes will debut weekly, every Friday through November 24, 2023. The series promises to be one of Apple TV+’s standout hits of the Autumn season. And given that it is executive produced by Brie Larson, the expectation levels are high! But don’t take my word for it. Check out the new trailer below.
