Is there a possibility of Black Cake Season 2?

Black Cake Season 2 received a hopeful update from the creator. Following the recent release of the Season 1 finale episode of the hit Hulu drama on Wednesday, December 6, fans will be thrilled to know a second season is probably on the way. Despite a 100% average Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, Black Cake Season 2 has yet to be greenlit.

According to showrunner and creator Marissa Jo Cerar, Season 2 could be coming. About the idea of a possible Season 2, actress Mia Isaac told BET that she “hadn’t heard anything” about a follow-up season but “it would be great if there were a second season.” Considering the storyline of Season 1, the show only covered a small section of Charmaine Wilkerson’s Black Cake. So, if the series moves ahead, there will be plenty of material to cover.

Showrunner Talked About Black Cake Season 2

Speaking on a Washington Post YouTube live stream, Cerar let slip “These are all the people who are in Covey’s life and I always say that Season 1 is act one of Benny, Byron, and Mabel’s stories, and Bunny’s too.” This statement insinuates the existence of a second act, the show will probably explore it in the next season.

She closed by saying, “I didn’t want to rush through it, because I wanted to honor the experience that is heightened, to an extent, because not all of us get these recordings after people we love pass away. But, just the reaction to them, I wanted to be able to take our time, and to really honor the book, and the care with which Charmaine [Wilkerson] put into this building this world, and these characters.”

In the same conversation, Black Cake star Adrienne Warren revealed she is keen about the idea of this just being the beginning:

“Oh, Benny’s the baby of her family. Benny could learn a lot from the women that I play in those films. But, you know what, I know that the spirit of those women exists in Benny. The spirit of our ancestors exists in me and and I know that I’m so excited to see how Benny evolves, where Marissa and the rest of our amazing writers… where they take her journey. So, to Marissa’s point, this is act one and I’m just as excited as everyone else to see what happens next.”

Black Cake Season 1 is streaming now on Hulu.
