Showtime’s Masters of Sex doesn’t premiere until September but this new teaser gives us a glimpse of what we can expect from Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan as the Masters and Johnson sexuality research team. Following the work of Alfred Kinsey (the movie Kinsey is a good place to start and features a whole host of familiar faces such as Peter Sarsgaard, Laura Linney and John Krasinski), William Masters and Virginia Johnson took on the science of human sexuality research baton and were pioneers in this field. This new drama chronicles the lives of both Masters and Johnson and the work that they did that helped kick start the sexual revolution.
This teaser shows that there will be humor in their work and revelations that will change how sex is discussed in the private and public sphere. I’m very happy to have both Lizzy Caplan and Michael Sheen on TV and I’m looking forward to seeing their trajectory from this ’50s setting as researchers to landing cover of Time magazine.
Masters of Sex premieres Sunday, September 29 on Showtime.
