Adam Taylor (The Handmaid’s Tale, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Before I Fall, The Right Stuff, Meadowland) is the composer of the new Hulu original series Black Cake. The show is based on Charmaine Wilkerson’s best-selling novel of the same name and stars Mia Isaac, Adrienne Warren, Chipo Chung, Lashay Anderson, Ashley Thomas, Faith Alabi and Glynn Turman. The drama revolves around a runaway bride who disappears into the surf off the coast of Jamaica in the 1960s and is feared drowned or a fugitive on the run for her husband’s murder. Decades later, a widow loses her battle with cancer, leaving her two estranged children a flash drive that holds previously untold stories of her journey from the Caribbean to America. Marissa Jo Cerar (Women of the Movement) serves as the project’s showrunner and is also executive producing the Two Drifters, Harpo Films, ABC Signature & Kapital Entertainment production with Wilkerson, Oprah Winfrey, Aaron Kaplan (A Million Little Things, The Chi), Carla Gardini (The Water Man, Greenleaf), Brian Morewitz (American Auto) and Michael Lohmann (Patsy & Loretta, Tell Me a Story).
