Apple TV+ has set a fall premiere date for limited drama series Chemistry class, starring and produced by Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson. The series will debut with the first two episodes on Friday, October 13. New episodes will debut weekly from Friday through November 24.
Based on the best-selling debut novel by Bonnie Garmus, Chemistry class, set in the early 1950s, follows Elizabeth Zott (Larson), whose dream of becoming a scientist is suspended in a patriarchal society. When Elizabeth finds herself fired from her lab, she takes a job hosting a TV cooking show and sets out to teach a nation of neglected housewives – and the men who suddenly listen – about more than just recipes.
