Black Cake is coming soon to Hulu. The streaming service has announced the premiere date for the new drama series with the release of a trailer. Eight episodes were produced for the series.
Starring Mia Isaac, Adrienne Warren, Chipo Chung, Ashley Thomas, Lashay Anderson, Faith Alabi, and Glynn Turman, the Hulu series is based on the best-selling novel by Charmaine Wilkerson and takes place in Jamaica, Italy, Scotland, England, and Southern California. Ahmed Eljah, Simon Wan, and Sonita Henry have recurring roles in the series.
The story begins in the late 1960s as a runaway bride named Covey disappears into the surf off the coast of Jamaica and is feared drowned or a fugitive on the run for her husband’s murder. In present day California, a widow named Eleanor Bennett, loses her battle with cancer, leaving her two estranged children, Byron and Benny, a flash drive that holds previously untold stories of her journey from the Caribbean to America. These stories, narrated by Eleanor, shock her children and challenge everything they thought they knew about their family’s origin.
Black Cake arrives on November 1. The trailer teasing the new Hulu series is below.
