Lessons in Chemistry is set to be another big TV mini-series for Apple TV+. But who stars in this new drama? Find out here!
Based on the novel by Bonnie Garmus, Lessons in Chemistry is set in the 1960s, telling the tale of Elizabeth Zott. A somewhat cold but brilliant scientist, Elizabeth is tired of being overlooked by her peers and trying to make do in a more sexist time.
The TV series appears to veer from the book a bit. When a male colleague takes credit for her work, Elizabeth makes a fuss and is fired. The only job she can land is hosting a TV cooking show. Elizabeth decides to use this to transform the show into giving science lessons to housewives and breaking the patriarchy.
The series also shows Elizabeth handling a relationship and trying to open up to others while offering some sharp commentary on gender issues. So who stars in this unique show?
