What is the plot of Black Cake?
The film adaptation of Charmaine Wilkerson’s novel of the same name is titled Black Cake. It tells the tale of Eleanor Bennett, who, upon her demise, divulges personal secrets that spark a voyage of introspection and revelation among her children.
The official synopsis of Black Cake is as follows: “Departing from Marissa Jo Cerar, Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Films, and Aaron Kaplans’ Kapital Entertainment, Black Cake is a family drama entangled in a murder mystery with a diverse cast of characters and a global setting. It is based on the New York Times-bestselling novel by Charmaine Wilkerson. Southern California, Jamaica, Rome, Scotland, and England are all featured in the narrative. Cerar, who has been in charge of the series’ long-running run as showrunner, wrote the adaptation.
In the late 1960s, runaway bride Covey disappears into the sea off Jamaica, presumed drowned or a fugitive for murdering her husband. A California widow named Eleanor Bennett leaves her two estranged children, Byron and Benny, a flash drive with untold tales of her trek from the Caribbean to America 50 years after her cancer death. Eleanor’s revelations shocked her children and challenged their beliefs about their family’s descendants.”
Is a Black Cake trailer available?
Ahead of the television series’ January release in the United Kingdom, Disney Plus did indeed release an emotive trailer in early January. It introduces Eleanor’s children, who learn that their mother’s past and the origin of their family are not what they appear to be following her demise. The Black Cake trailer is available for viewing below.
Who is featured as the protagonist of Black Cake?
Mia Isaac assumes the principal character of Covey. Ashley Thomas (Them) plays her son Byron, Adrienne Warren (The Woman King) plays her daughter Benny; and Anthony Mark Barrow (All You Need is Me) plays Clarence Henry; Chipo Chung (Into the Badlands) plays Eleanor Bennett; Simon Wan (Black Lotus) plays her father Lin; and Lashay Anderson represents Bunny.
Does Black Cake recount a genuine event?
The television series Black Cake is an adaptation of Charmaine Wilkerson’s novel of the same name. It is not based on a true tale. The rum-soaked traditional Caribbean dessert that served as the book’s inspiration is a part of Wilkerson’s family’s Jamaican heritage.
When can I watch Disney Plus’s Black Cake in the United Kingdom?
Black Cake will be accessible to viewers in the United Kingdom via Disney Plus beginning on Wednesday, January 31. Streaming will be available for all eight episodes, making this the ideal series to binge-watch this weekend.
