Synopsis:
Set in the early 1950s, âLessons in Chemistryâ follows Elizabeth Zott (played by Larson), 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.
Hailing from Apple Studios, âLessons in Chemistryâ is produced by Aggregate Films. Six-time Emmy Award-nominee Lee Eisenberg (âWeCrashed,â âLittle Americaâ) serves as showrunner. The series is executive produced by Academy Award-winner Brie Larson and co-executive producer Elijah Allan-Blitz of their The Great Unknown Productions; Emmy Award-winner Jason Bateman and Michael Costigan (âOzark,â âA Teacherâ) executive produce for Aggregate Films; and, Academy Award-nominee Susannah Grant (âUnbelievable,â âErin Brockovichâ). Natalie Sandy executive produces through Piece of Work Entertainment alongside Eisenberg. Louise Shore also serves as executive producer and Bonnie Garmus serves as co-EP.
