Black Cake | Official Trailer | Hulu

Based on The New York Times-bestselling book by Charmaine Wilkerson, “Black Cake” is a family drama wrapped in a murder mystery with a diverse cast of characters and a global setting, from Marissa Jo Cerar, Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Films, and Aaron Kaplans’ Kapital Entertainment. The story takes place in Jamaica, Rome, Scotland, England and Southern California. Cerar wrote the adaptation and serves as showrunner on the series, which spans decades. In the late 1960s, 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. Fifty years later in 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. Watch Black Cake on Hulu!

The casting for the younger and older versions of her is so good

[InLovewithHorror]

So good to see more books by Black authors being adapted to shows and movies!

Not sure why this series didn't get more publicity but this is an excellent series. Each episode makes you immediately want to watch the next episode.

PLEASE READ THE BOOK FIRST!!! I beg! It is sooo wonderfully and uniquely crafted, easy to read due to format and content. I cannot believe I finally read this novel about 4 months ago and thought, 'wow! this should be on film.' Ask & you will receive. I don't even know if I'll be able to watch it tbh because the book WAS THAT PHENOMENAL.

This is an amazing story. I'm so delighted to see Mia Isaac, one of my former public speaking students in this film. She was a brilliant and focused student in my program while in elementary school, and she is a phenomenal teen talent now! So proud of her!
