Deli Boys returns on May 28 with Kumail Nanjiani and Lily Singh joining the cast
The Dar brothers are returning for the second season of the Hulu dark comedy Deli Boys, which releases on May 28. This time, they’re bringing along some new friends.
The crime caper starring Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, Tan France, and Poorna Jagannathan has added five new names to its cast. Fred Armisen is set to join as a major character, which was announced back in August, Andrew Rannells and Kumail Nanjiani have been cast as recurring characters, while Robin Thede and Lilly Singh will be joining the show as guest stars.
Created by Abdullah Saeed, the show follows Pakistani-American brothers Mir and Raj Dar (Ali and Sheikh) who have lost everything and are now preparing to take over their father’s criminal empire.
According to Deadline, the show’s second season revolves around their journey after inheriting the enterprise. The brothers, burdened with dirty-cash, work with casino magnate Max Sugar (Armisen) — a legendary gambler with the ability to read people like cards — to launder it.
All the while, Lucky (Jagannathan) develops a crush on the new partner, and District Attorney Andrew Chadwater (Rannells) tries to bust the gang in his quest to become the mayor of Philadelphia.
Nanjiani will play Danyal, a defence attorney hired by Sugar, while Singh will play Aisha, the wife of Shahjahan Khan’s character Maalik Ali who is obsessed with Raj. Thede will play Dr Iverson, a couples’ therapist with questionable ethics.
The show, which received acclaim for its representation of Pakistani Americans and it’s comedic content, was renewed for its second season in August. The 10-episode first season — which includes a cameo by Pakistani fashion designer HSY — can be watched on Hulu and Disney+.
