The first three episodes of “Black Cake,” the drama series based on the bestselling book by Charmaine Wilkerson, is now streaming on Hulu.
About ‘Black Cake’:
The story takes place in Jamaica, Italy, 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.
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.
