Set in the early 1950s, the show follows Elizabeth Zott (played by Larson), “whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a patriarchal society,” reads the official synopsis. “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.”
Starring alongside Larson — who also serves as an exec producer — are Lewis Pullman (Outer Range), Aja Naomi King (How to Get Away With Murder), Stephanie Koenig (The Flight Attendant), Kevin Sussman (The Big Bang Theory), Patrick Walker (The Resident) and Thomas Mann.
