What is Lessons in Chemistry about?

Has Lessons in Chemistry been renewed for season 2?

At the time of writing, Lessons in Chemistry has not been renewed for a second season. 

Generally Apple TV+ gauges numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and drop-off rates. The completion rate is one of the most important metrics.

With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before Apple TV+ makes a decision over a show’s future.

So far, Lessons in Chemistry has had a pretty good reaction from critics and audiences alike, with many discussing Brie Larson’s strong performance as Elizabeth Zott.

However, given the way this show is set up, we’re predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. This is due to the fact that the show has been advertised as a limited series to be based on Bonnie Garmus’ book. Additionally, Garmus told Los Angeles Times that she currently has no plans to write a sequel.

We’ll be sure to update this section with accurate details over the coming weeks and months when we know more!

What we know about Lessons in Chemistry season 2 so far:

Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point, given Apple TV+ has not green-lit a sequel. However, if this is renewed, we could potentially expect the story to follow Elizabeth’s continued pursuits in science, or even a storyline that follows Mad.

As mentioned above, we predict that this will not be renewed, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens. We’ll be sure to update this page in the future when more information is known!

  1. This show is fantastic, and even if Bonnie Garmus has no plans for a sequel, the end of season 1 left fertile ground for script writers to continue Elizabeth’s story

  2. I loved this show and I agree good shows are hard to find these days. Please renew for a second season or more. I’m encouraging my family & others to watch as well.

  3. Yes please. Write a season 2. Good shows like this are rare. My wife and I loved this story very much.
