Synopsis
Black Cake (2023) is a drama series you can watch online on iFILM. When their mother dies, two long-estranged siblings inherit a voice recording — and the life story she kept buried for decades. To hear it out, they have to stop avoiding each other first.
The recording carries them back to the Caribbean, where a young woman named Covey is pushed into a marriage she never wanted, only for her groom to die on the shore under murky circumstances on the wedding day. Covey vanishes. From there the trail runs to London and California, through borrowed names and choices whose cost reaches her own children years later. One thread ties every life together: the family black cake their mother asks them to bake and share when the moment comes. Mia Isaac plays young Covey; Chipo Chung plays her older self.
Adapted for Hulu from Charmaine Wilkerson's bestselling novel, it's an unhurried family saga about secrets, migration and how a parent's past shapes the children who inherit it. A good pick if you like layered stories that unspool over several nights. Stream every episode of Black Cake online on iFILM.
