In Deli Boys, when their convenience store-magnate father suddenly dies, a pair of pampered Pakistani American brothers (played by Asif Ali and Ms. Marvel‘s Saagar Shaikh) lose everything and are forced to reckon with their Baba’s secret life of crime as they attempt to take up his mantle in the underworld.
The cast for the 10-episode, half-hour series also includes Poorna Jagannathan (Never Have I Ever), Alfie Fuller (The Marvel Mrs. Maisel) and Brian George (The Expanse).
Deli Boys was created by Abdullah Saeed and developed by Jenni Konner and Nora Silve. Michelle Nader, who also serves as showrunner, is an executive producer alongside Saeed, Konner, Silver, pilot director Nisha Ganatra and Vali Chandrasekaran.
