In a world where identities intertwine and cultures collide, Hulu and Onyx Collective’s new series, “Queenie,” is now streaming on Hulu.

Based on the best-selling novel by Candice Carty-Williams, the show promises a poignant journey through the life of Queenie Jenkins, a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman navigating the complexities of her dual heritage in south London.

At the heart of the series lies Queenie’s struggle to find her place in a society where she feels like she doesn’t quite belong.

Straddling two cultures yet feeling like she fits into neither, Queenie embarks on a tumultuous path of self-discovery following a messy breakup with her long-term boyfriend.

As she seeks solace in all the wrong places, she gradually realizes that confronting her past is the key to rebuilding her future.

Set to premiere on June 7, “Queenie” promises to be a captivating exploration of identity, relationships, and the universal quest for redemption.

Anchoring the narrative is a stellar cast bringing these multifaceted characters to life.

Samuel Adewumni rounds out the cast as Frank, offering a compelling portrayal of a pivotal figure in Queenie’s life.

Through its rich storytelling and nuanced characters, “Queenie” shines a spotlight on the complexities of modern identity and the importance of embracing one’s heritage while navigating the complexities of contemporary life.
