'Deli Boys' Brings South Asian Crime Comedy to Hulu

The new series follows two Pakistani American brothers navigating their father's secret drug empire with humor and chaos.

The 10-episode Hulu series 'Deli Boys' premieres Thursday, blending crime and comedy through a South Asian American lens.
The story centers on two brothers, Mir and Raj Dar, who discover their late father's convenience store business was a front for cocaine smuggling.
Created by Pakistani American Abdullah Saeed, the show explores themes of identity, family dynamics, and cultural specificity without overexplaining South Asian traditions.
The cast includes Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, Poorna Jagannathan, and 'Queer Eye' star Tan France in his scripted acting debut as a British Pakistani gang leader.
'Deli Boys' is part of Disney's Onyx Collective, which focuses on amplifying underrepresented voices, highlighting progress in South Asian representation in Hollywood.
