The series, which is based on the bestselling novel and \"GMA\" Book Club pick of the same name from author Bonnie Garmus, is set in the early 1960s and follows Larson's character Elizabeth, a scientist whose dreams are put on hold in a patriarchal society, according to an official synopsis of the series.

\"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,\" the synopsis continues.
