Watch Our Interview With "Lessons In Chemistry" Star Aja Naomi King
Ahead of the “Lessons In Chemistry” finale, we talked to Aja Naomi King about her character Harriet Sloane’s book to screen transformation, and how the series is the perfect example of why we should never forget our history. She also gave us a look into working with Oscar-winner Brie Larson (who also stars as Elizabeth Zott and worked as executive producer).
What is Lessons in Chemistry about?
In Lessons in Chemistry, Elizabeth Zott (depicted by The Marvels' Brie Larson) dreams of being a scientist, but finds herself in the throes and restrictions of 1950s' society. When she's ultimately fired from her lab, she becomes the charming host of a TV cooking show instead, and uses the position to teach housewives — and the men who are suddenly listening — much more than recipes.

In Lessons in Chemistry's tantalizing trailer, viewers briefly see Elizabeth Zott's transition from working in a lab as a scientist to become an empowering cooking TV show host.
This official first look is smartly crafted and pulls viewers in without giving away any of Zott's lessons or the series' climax. As far as we're concerned, October can't come quick enough.
