Spoilers for Deli Boys season 2 ahead.
Deli Boys season 2 is now streaming on Hulu (US) and Disney+ (international), and if you haven’t tried this bonkers, Gen Z-coded comedy, you haven’t lived.
As we saw in season 1, brothers Raj (Saagar Shaikh) and Mir (Asif Ali) Dar found out that their late dad’s local convenience store was actually a front for an international drug ring, which the pair have inherited.
In season 2, they’re making so much money that local casino owner-turned-money launderer Max Sugar (Fred Armisen) is enlisted to help “clean” the boys’ money, though Max falls in love with no-nonsense Aunt Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan) instead.
It’s lucky — pun intended — that he did, because it’s what stops him from betraying the Dars in favor of earning more money, and he is instead busted during a raid by insufferable politician Andrew Chadwater (Andrew Rannells).
But it ain’t over ’til it’s over, and Deli Boys season 2 ends with yet another mystery that needs solving. It means that Deli Boys season 3 is absolutely feasible… and according to executive producer Michelle Nader, a framework is already in place.
‘I want people to watch all six episodes and be left burning for more’
Watch On
“It’s always a fingers-crossed situation,” Nader says when I ask if she’s keeping her fingers crossed for a Deli Boys season 3 renewal.
“I’m hoping it actually gets one. I never know what is going to happen. But we have plans, and we left season 2 on a very big cliffhanger. That hopefully makes people watch the whole six episodes and be burning for more, so that we can get to do more.”
And the big cliffhanger in question? The Dar brothers and Lucky return to Max’s office while he’s nowhere to be seen, hoovering up the money and any other goodies that have been exposed by the raid.
But convenience store worker and friend Matthew (Jake Prizant) has accidentally eaten a poisoned pie delivered by “the eldest Dar,” leaving him for dead when he arrives at Max’s office to help.
“The theme of season 2 was ‘more money, more problems,'” Nader explains. “There are a lot of real crises that happen in this season, and at only six episodes, it’s at a really hyper pace. It’s like what we did in season 1, but nuclear levels of fast… if that’s even a thing.”
Fingers crossed that a season 3 renewal is equally delivered at these astounding speeds.
