Streaming services are now trying to ration their upcoming original content due to the ongoing actors strike and the only recently-resolved writers’ strike, so we’re going to see a thinning-down of new releases across the board over the next six months at least. Hulu will be adding a lot of library TV shows and movies in November, but there are only a few new major original projects hitting the streamer this month.
Hulu’s spotlight streaming series in November is Black Cake, which is based on the bestselling book by Charmaine Wilkerson. Part family drama, part murder mystery, the show features a globetrotting story that will cover decades of events after a bereaved family find a flash drive that contains some shocking secrets about the hidden history of their late matriarch.
Also dropping on Hulu this month is the original film Quiz Lady, starring Sandra Oh, Awkwafina, Jason Schwartzman,...

Mark Wahlberg has big plans for Wahlburgers, the ever-expanding burger restaurant he opened with his brothers Donnie and Paul — but he didn’t immediately realize its potential from the start.
“I think when Paul originally came to me and talked about doing this concept after we had opened Alma Nove, I wasn’t really into the idea,” Mark said on Tuesday during a Q&A launch event for the restaurant’s newest locations in Hangzhou, Wuhan and Shanghai, China.
