- Deli Boys Season 2 premiered May 28 on Hulu with all six episodes available at once, following Mir and Raj Dar as they attempt to run their late father's cocaine empire with the help of Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan).
- Mir (Asif Ali) prioritizes laundering DarCo money through golf courses and country clubs to fulfill his father's dream of going legitimate, sacrificing his broken engagement in the process.
- Raj (Saagar Shaikh) seeks revenge against former lieutenant Ahmad (Brian George) for killing their father, because '[the Dar brothers] could have lived good lives… Raj could have still had his orgy cabal and his coping room,' Shaikh says.
- Raj's viral mugshot turns him into the 'Fuck Me Felon' after his arrest for Ahmad's car-bomb murder, with Kumail Nanjiani arriving as Lucky's ex to help spring him from jail.
- Kumail Nanjiani improvises through a courtroom scene opposite Andrew Rannells (a hard-charging DA running for mayor) and plays an hour of ping pong against Fred Armisen (casino magnate Max Sugar), per both leads.
- The season finale sees the brothers and Lucky topple Max's empire and bring Chadwater under their thumb, but a closing note from 'the eldest Dar' warns they are coming for their share of Baba's fortune.
- Ali jokes that Robert Downey Jr. is his pick to play the mystery eldest sibling — 'but he still plays Doom, it's part of the multiverse.'
Why it matters: The finale's 'eldest Dar' reveal leaves the crime comedy with a new mystery antagonist, while the stacked guest cast (Nanjiani, Armisen, Rannells) signals a broader ensemble going forward. For Mir and Raj, their cocaine empire and viral 'Fuck Me Felon' mugshot are now public, raising the personal stakes for any future installment.
