## Synopsis

Deli Boys (2025-2026) is an American crime comedy series created by Abdullah Saeed for Hulu. When their convenience store magnate father dies suddenly, pampered Pakistani American brothers Mir Dar (Asif Ali) and Raj Dar (Saagar Shaikh) are left with a family business that hides a criminal underworld they never knew about. Their engine is simple and comic: they want to keep the lifestyle they took for granted, but every attempt to step into their Baba's shoes exposes them to dangerous rivals and bad deals. Brian George plays Ahmad and Poorna Jagannathan plays Lucky, the family figures pulling them in different directions. Each episode mixes sharp family banter with tense, sometimes violent, underworld business. The show spans two seasons and sixteen episodes of short comedic runs with a lively, irreverent energy. Its tone blends bickering sibling humor with a grittier criminal edge and a sense of cultural identity. Fans of Ozark, Breaking Bad and Bad Monkey will find resonance in its mix of family loyalty, dark humor and crime. Its cancellation left the story open, and the sudden plunge into crime gives its brotherly comedy a jolt.
