Hulu has dropped the official trailer for Deli Boys, an all-new half-hour comedy series from Onyx Collective and 20th Television. The 10-episode series is set to deliver a fresh, irreverent take on the crime genre, following two spoiled Pakistani-American brothers as they stumble into their father’s criminal empire—by accident.
A Family Business… With a Criminal Twist
At the heart of Deli Boys are Raj and Mir Dar, two pampered brothers who think they’ve inherited a thriving deli empire—only to discover that their late father was actually a high-level drug lord. Stripped of their wealth and comfort, the duo is forced into the treacherous world of organized crime, where every wrong move could be their last.

Thrown into the chaos are their sharp-witted but terrifying Lucky Auntie and the ever-imposing Ahmad Uncle, two seasoned players in the game who have very different ideas about how Raj and Mir should handle their new reality. As the brothers bungle their way through dangerous underworld dealings, the stakes skyrocket in a world where there’s no safety net and no room for mistakes.
A Powerhouse Creative Team
Created by Abdullah Saeed, Deli Boys was developed under the creative vision of Jenni Konner (Girls, Camping) and Nora Silver. Michelle Nader (2 Broke Girls) serves as showrunner and executive producer, alongside Saeed, Konner, and Silver. The pilot episode was directed by Nisha Ganatra (Late Night), who also executive produces, with Vali Chandrasekaran as a non-writing executive producer.
Bringing this sharp, fast-paced comedy to life is a standout cast:
- Asif Ali (Don’t Worry Darling, The Mandalorian) as Mir
- Saagar Shaikh (Ms. Marvel) as Raj
- Poorna Jagannathan (Never Have I Ever, The Night Of) as Lucky
- Alfie Fuller (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Prairie
- Brian George (The Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld) as Ahmad
What to Expect From Deli Boys
The show blends razor-sharp comedy with crime-thriller intensity, offering a unique look at the intersection of family, legacy, and survival. If the first episode’s synopsis is any indication, Deli Boys is diving headfirst into high-stakes chaos.
After their father’s sudden death, Raj and Mir assume they’ve inherited a deli empire—until they realize the truth about their Baba’s criminal past. As they scramble to make sense of their new reality, Lucky Auntie does something totally messed up… but also kind of awesome.
Deli Boys premieres exclusively on Hulu. Get ready for a wild ride filled with action, humor, and plenty of unexpected twists.
