As seen in the Apple TV+ series' newly released trailer, which is set to Harry Styles' "Sign of the Times," Larson's character has her ion making a difference on 1950s patriarchal society as she teaches a nation of housewives—and the men in their households—more than just how to make dinner.

In another scene, Elizabeth hits back her TV station manager (played by The Office alum Rainn Wilson) after he remarks that "politics don't belong in the kitchen" and all a husband wants is "his wife to make him a drink after a long day at work."

The eight-part limited series, for which Larson also serves as an executive producer, follows Elizabeth's journey as a single mom who went from losing her job as a lab assistant to becoming an unexpected culinary icon.

"In life, discoveries usually lead to more questions," she says in the teaser. "The only constant variable is the unexpected. We can't control it. It's only when you look backwards that you see how it was all connected."
