About Deli Boys

Synopsis: After their deli-tycoon father suddenly dies, Raj and Mir Dar, a pair of spoiled Pakistani-American brothers, lose everything and find out that their Baba was more drug lord than corporate magnate. The freaked-out boys are ushered kicking and screaming (literally) into the underworld by their Lucky Auntie and her nemesis Ahmad Uncle. As Raj and Mir fumble from one ridiculous catastrophe to the next, every move they make is life or death. Because when your trust fund is gone, so is the luxury of screwing up.

The series was created by Abdullah Saeed and developed by Jenni Konner and Nora Silver under Jenni Konner Productions. Michelle Nader, who also serves as showrunner, is an executive producer alongside Saeed, Konner and Silver. Nisha Ganatra is executive producer and director on the pilot, with Vali Chandrasekaran as a non-writing executive producer on the pilot. The series hails from Onyx Collective and is produced by 20th Television.

The show stars Asif Ali as Mir, Saagar Shaikh as Raj, Poorna Jagannathan as Lucky, Alfie Fuller as Prairie and Brian George as Ahmad.

All 10 half-hour episodes of Deli Boys will stream on Thursday, March 6 on Hulu.

First-look photos were released, showcasing both Ali and Shaikh. Below is an image of the two looking surprised, and we can guess that a crime scene is happening with the FBI involved in the background.

Ali and Shaikh look perplexed yet again as they stand in the middle of the street in their deli apron. The posing and city backdrop are giving off the Michael Bay/Bad Boys style.
