Tan France makes his acting debut.
A new comedy series, Deli Boys, is set to shake up streaming with its thrilling mix of crime, comedy, and South Asian representation.
Premiering on Hulu on March 6, 2025, the show promises a fresh take on immigrant family legacies with an unexpected underworld twist.
Created by Abdullah Saeed, Deli Boys follows two Pakistani American brothers whose lavish lives are shattered after their father’s sudden death.
But the real shock? Their beloved Baba wasn’t just a convenience store mogul; he was a crime boss with a vast empire.
As they scramble to make sense of their father’s legacy, they are thrust into a world of danger, deception, and unexpected alliances.
Asif Ali stars as Mir Dar, the eager-to-impress son trying to fill his father’s shoes, while Saagar Shaikh plays Raj Dar, a carefree partygoer forced to step up.
The series explores their chaotic attempts to maintain power while navigating the criminal world.
Their starkly different personalities make for an entertaining dynamic as they clash over how to handle their newfound responsibilities.
Adding to the excitement, Poorna Jagannathan plays Lucky, their father’s ruthless confidante, and Queer Eye star Tan France makes his acting debut as Zubair, a stylish South London gang leader.
His surprise role has already sparked major buzz online, particularly within South Asian communities eager to see more diverse representation on screen.
The 10-episode series was developed with executive producers including Nisha Ganatra and Vali Chandrasekaran.
Filming took place in Chicago, with production delays due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but anticipation remains sky-high.
Shooting locations included key spots in Lincoln Square and Rogers Park, adding an authentic urban backdrop to the gripping storyline.
South Asian-led stories in Hollywood are rare, and Deli Boys offers a thrilling departure from stereotypes.
It blends dark humour with family drama, making it a must-watch for fans of Atlanta and The Sopranos.
The series also highlights the generational clash between traditional values and modern ambition, a theme many South Asian viewers will find relatable.
British South Asian audiences can catch Deli Boys on Disney+ upon release.
With its dynamic cast, gripping storyline, and cultural depth, this series could be the breakout hit of 2025.
Expect a show filled with unexpected twists, sharp wit, and a fresh perspective on power, loyalty, and identity.
Deli Boys is set to redefine South Asian storytelling on mainstream platforms, bringing a bold and compelling narrative to global audiences.
