When their father suddenly dies, two pampered Pakistani American brothers find their world turned upside down as they’re sucked into a life of crime in Hulu’s unexpectedly bloody family comedy series,Deli Boys.
“Dad was a fraud, a drug dealer and possibly a murderer,” Mir laments to Raj at one point in the preview, to which his brother replies, “I love him even more knowing he wasn’t perfect.”

No sooner than Baba turns up dead Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan,Never Have I Ever), who is described as Baba’s confidante, shows up and teaches them the ways of their family’s secret enterprise. “This is how your father’s business works. This is a life of crime and the life of this deli,” she’s heard telling them in the trailer.
“The family business is anything but convenient,” the tagline for the series reads. And based on the rest of the trailer, it’s going to be chaos, antics and plenty of laughs for these two.
