Here’s the logline:

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.

Watch the trailer here:

Larson leads the cast that includes Lewis Pullman (“Top Gun: Maverick,” “Outer Range”), 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”). Alongside Eisenberg, a seven-time Emmy Award nominee, other creatives involved include Academy Award nominee Susannah Grant (“Unbelievable,” “Erin Brockovich”) as executive producer and Sarah Adina Smith (“Hanna,” “Looking for Alaska”) as director and executive producer of the first two episodes.

“Lessons in Chemistry” debuts on October 13.
