Deli Boys is an upcoming series from Onyx Collective, premiering on Hulu on March 6, 2025. It stars Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, Poorna Jagannathan, Alfie Fuller and Brian George. Today, it was announced that Queer Eye’s Tan France will be starring in a guest role, marking the renowned fashion designer’s first foray into scripted comedy.

France is known for being part of the Fab 5 in Queer Eye, a reality series that follows the team as they transform the lives of others through style, home organization, nutrition, and more. In Deli Boys, he portrays Zubair, a British Pakistani South London gang leader. He’s described as “smart, intimidating and dressed to kill,” which is very fitting for the fashion guru.
