‘Lessons In Chemistry’ Star Brie Larson On The “Great Challenge” Of Translating Science & Potential For Season 2 — Contenders TV


Lessons in Chemistry star Brie Larson talked about the challenges of her character and the potential of a second season at Deadline's Contenders TV.

Based on Bonnie Garmus’ best-selling debut novel, Lessons in Chemistry, is set in the early 1950s and follows Elizabeth Zott (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, all the while craving a return to her true love: science. Antonia Blyth, Lee Eisenberg, Brie Larson, Lewis Pullman and Aja Naomi King speak on a panel for “Lessons in Chemistry” at Deadline Contenders Television 2024.
