Hulu‘s Onyx Collective has dropped the first trailer for the single-camera comedy series “Deli Boys.” The series will debut with its full 10-episode season on March 6.
In the trailer, Pakistani-American brothers Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Saagar Shaikh) Dar discover that their father’s convenience store empire was nothing but a front, and that the real family business has been selling drugs all along. Now tasked with saving a business they are woefully unprepared to lead, the brothers are forced to adapt quickly to survive in the criminal underworld.
Along with Ali and Shaikh, the cast of the series includes Poorna Jagannathan, Brian George, and Alfie Fuller.
Abdullah Saeed created the show and executive produces. Jenni Konner and Nora Silver developed the show for television under Jenni Konner Productions and also executive produce. Michelle Nader is the series’ showrunner and executive producer. Nisha Ganatra is executive producer and director on the pilot, with Vali Chandrasekaran executive producing on the pilot. The series hails from Onyx Collective and is produced by 20th Television.

“Deli Boys” was originally ordered to pilot at Onyx Collective in 2022, receiving a formal series pickup in May 2023, though production did not begin until early 2024 due in part to the dual writers’ and actors’ strikes in Hollywood in 2023.
Until “Deli Boys” is officially released, Onyx Collective’s current original scripted series slate consists only of the legal drama “Reasonable Doubt.” Most recently, the Natasha Rothwell series “How to Die Alone” was canceled after one season.
