Brilliant chemist turned famous TV host. You’ve never met anyone like Elizabeth Zott. Based on the best-selling novel, Lessons in Chemistry premieres October 13. https://apple.co/_LessonsInChemistry
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.
Starring alongside Larson are Lewis Pullman (“Top Gun: Maverick,” “Outer Range”), 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 is produced for Apple TV+ by Apple Studios. Seven-time Emmy Award-nominee Lee Eisenberg (“WeCrashed,” “Little America”) serves as showrunner. Academy Award-nominee Susannah Grant (“Unbelievable,” “Erin Brockovich”) executive produces alongside Larson. Sarah Adina Smith (“Hanna,” “Looking for Alaska”) serves as director and executive producer of the first two episodes. Jason Bateman and Michael Costigan (“Ozark,” “A Teacher”) executive produce for Aggregate Films. Natalie Sandy executive produces through Piece of Work Entertainment alongside Eisenberg. Louise Shore also serves as executive producer.

00:10 discoveries usually lead to more questions.
00:14 The only constant variable is the unexpected.
00:19 We can't control it.
00:20 It's only when you look backwards that you see how it was all connected.
00:24 Let's begin, shall we?
00:29 Mmm, that's perfect.
00:30 I like to cook.
00:31 It's just chemistry.
00:32 You're on the verge of a major scientific breakthrough.
00:37 This institution has a reputation based on the world-class scientists,
00:41 not the theories of a pretty lab tech.
00:43 We have rules.
00:45 You're firing me.
00:56 I would like to offer you a job as the host of our cooking show.
01:00 Are you concussed?
01:01 No.
01:01 You are poised to become a TV star.
01:04 We're live in 5, 4, 3...
01:10 Welcome, viewers.
01:11 This is Supper at Six.
01:13 Do I need a catchphrase?
01:20 Don't overthink it.
01:21 Never understood what that meant.
01:22 I stand proudly with the overlooked workhorse of the kitchen,
01:26 women and baked potatoes.
01:27 What the f-
01:28 You've got something almost no one has.
01:35 A platform.
01:38 What you say matters.
01:41 Politics don't belong in the kitchen.
01:43 A man wants his wife to make him a drink after a long day at work.
01:48 Why do you assume that his day was longer than hers?
01:50 Why don't you make the drink?
01:52 [Dramatic music]
02:01 You are what I treasure most in this world.
02:04 Not because you are pretty, not because you are smart,
02:06 but because you love me and I love you.
02:08 [Dramatic music]
02:11 I can't do it.
02:12 You think you can't do it and you do it anyway.
02:14 Your ability to change everything starts here.
02:18 [Dramatic music]
02:24 Children's at the table.
02:25 Your mother needs a moment to herself.
02:27 [Dramatic music]
