Who is starring in the "Lessons in Chemistry" series?

In the series, which is set early 1960s, actress Brie Larson plays Elizabeth Zott, a talented chemist whose life takes a turn when she becomes a single mother and the unlikely star of a TV cooking show.

In her new role on TV, Elizabeth "sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives -- and the men who are suddenly listening -- a lot more than recipes," according to the show's synopsis.

"Top Gun: Maverick" star Lewis Pullman stars alongside Larson in the upcoming series.

The cast also includes NAACP Image Award winner and "How to Get Away With Murder" star Aja Naomi King. Stephanie Koenig, Kevin Sussman, Patrick Walker and Thomas Mann also star in the series.

When did the "Lessons in Chemistry" book come out?

Garmus' bestselling debut novel was released in April 2022.

It was named the 2022 Barnes & Noble Book of the Year and was also the April 2022 "GMA" Book Club pick.

Garmus previously told "GMA" that you should read her book if you're "tired of all the ways people make life miserable for others through misogyny and racism, and all the societal burdens that surely should have been eradicated by now."

"Maybe you could also use a laugh," she continued, "but also some inspiration from a woman in the '60s who refuses to conform, and because of it, encourages a nation to dare and be different."

Where can I watch "Lessons in Chemistry"?

"Lessons in Chemistry" will be available to stream on Apple TV+. New weekly episodes will arrive on the streaming platform on Fridays through Nov. 24.
