LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a direct detection dark matter experiment currently being operated at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota. The experiment utilizes 7 tonnes of liquid xenon in a dual phase time projection chamber to look for dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). LZ has recently released its first WIMP search results with an exposure of 60 live days using a fiducial mass of 5.5 tonnes. These results set new limits on spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross-sections for WIMP masses above 9 GeV/c^2. This talk will give an overview of the LZ detector, a description of the first results, and a brief look at the science program that is now accessible with the LZ experiment.
