If you're looking for a new show to stream this fall, Lessons in Chemistry— based on Bonnie Garmus' highly popular novel — has officially arrived.

Set in the sexist 1950s, Lessons in Chemistrystars Brie Larson as protagonist Elizabeth Zott, a chemist pressured by society to follow societal roles and be a dutiful housewife. Not one to play by the rules, she accepts a job hosting a cooking show on television, where she seeks to teach her viewers much more than just recipes. It also stars Lewis Pullman, Aja Naomi King, Stephanie Koenig, Kevin Sussman, Patrick Walker, and Thomas Mann.
