'Black Cake' adapts Charmaine Wilkerson’s New York Times bestseller of the same name with 'The Wilds' star Mia Isaac, Chipo Chung, and more.
The Big Picture “Some secrets should remain buried,” a voice says in the new trailer for Black Cake, Hulu’s upcoming family drama wrapped in a murder mystery. However, this lifetime’s worth of family secrets is all posthumously brought to the fore by its very custodian, challenging everything her children thought they knew about their family roots.
Black Cake will tell a multigenerational story beginning in 1960s Jamaica and per the synopsis will feature a global setting that includes Italy, Scotland, England, and Southern California. The narrative unfolds across two distinct timelines: one set in the '60s, where Covey, the central character is a runaway bride who disappears into the Jamaican sea and is feared drowned or a fugitive on the run for her husband’s murder.
The trailer begins with Eleanor's estranged children meeting in an office, where their strained relationship is immediately evident. They've come together for the reading of their late mother's will, which unknown to them includes a hidden secret on a flash drive. “Eleanor is not my real name,” their mother’s confession begins as she explains that she didn't want to burden them with her past.
The Cast and Team Behind ‘Black Cake’ Black Cake stars Chipo Chung as Eleanor and Mia Isaac as Covey, alongside Rupert Evans, Cara Horgan, Adrienne Warren, Ashley Thomas, Rebecca Calder, Faith Alabi, and Anthony J.
