Created by Marissa Jo Cerar, Black Cake is a drama series streaming on Hulu. Following Eleanor Bennett’s death, her two children discover that she has left for them the last black cake she ever made and a flash drive. As the siblings delve into the information in the drive, they realize how unaware they are about their late mother, including why she left her home in the Caribbean in the first place. Season one started streaming between November 1, 2023, and December 6, 2023. If you are wondering whether there will be a season 2, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s all we know about Black Cake Season 2 and whether or not it’s coming out.
Is there a Black Cake Season 2 release date?
There is no Black Cake Season 2 release date, as the show was developed as a miniseries.
The series is an adaptation of the namesake 2022 book by Charmaine Wilkerson, and the eight-part first season covers the entirety of it. Moreover, the book doesn’t have any sequel. So, unless Wilkerson decides to add to Eleanor and her family’s story in the future, season two is unlikely to happen.
The cast includes Chipo Chung as Eleanor Bennett, Mia Isaac as Coventina “Covey” Lyncook, Adrienne Warren as Benny Bennett, Ashley Thomas as Byron Bennett, Lashay Anderson as Bunny Pringle, Faith Alabi as Pearl Thomas, Glynn Turman as Charles Mitch, and more.
The official synopsis for Black Cake reads:
“Eleanor Bennett loses her battle with cancer, leaving her children a flash drive that holds untold stories of her journey from the Caribbean to America; the stories shock her children and challenge everything they know about their family’s origin.”
