Based on the bestselling and extremely popular novel by Bonnie Garmus, Apple TV+ is bringing everyone's favorite summer read of 2022 to the silver screen.

It's part revenge comedy, part inspirational tale. The story was so compelling that Apple TV+ greenlit the television series in January 2021 a whole year and four months before the novel even arrived at bookstores. 

Set in the 1950s, Lessons in Chemistry untangles how living in a patriarchal society forces women to claim their own voices and encourages them to challenge the status quo and never underestimate their full potential.  

It follows Elizabeth Zott — played by Oscar-winner Brie Larson — whose dream is to be a scientist, despite the confines placed on her in the male-dominated field. She loves her career at a research lab, in spite of the constant sexist digs. 

But soon she finds herself pregnant, alone and wrongfully terminated from her job. While desperate to get back into the lab, Zott instead gets a job as a TV cooking show host, which she uses to teach a nation of neglected housewives their true worth.

The first two episodes will premiere Oct. 13, with the following six episodes debuting every Friday until the end of November. 

But who's on the cast list for this upcoming series? Here's a roundup of the confirmed cast:
