Hulu shutters Deli Boys
TV has one less streaming comedy about South Asian failsons learning to run the family drug business while their Auntie kicks unbelievable amounts of ass today, as Deadline reports that Hulu has canceled its two-season series Deli Boys . And while this news is not wholly surprising—fully healthy TV shows that their networks or streamers are excited about don’t usually wait three months after…
Hulu has announced the cancellation of its two-season comedy series Deli Boys, according to Deadline. The show, which starred Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh as the Dar Boys, followed their efforts to manage their family's drug business. However, the cancellation came as a surprise, as successful TV shows typically don't receive immediate cancellation three months after their season finales air.
Deli Boys was known for its unique blend of criminal grit and silliness, with standout episodes like the one where Lucky, played by Poorna Jagannathan, and her new beau confront their couples counselor with guns. While the show's marketing push seemed promising, particularly with Jagannathan's upcoming role in HBO's Lanterns series, the ratings simply weren't high enough to keep the show afloat.
This cancellation leaves fans disappointed, as several storylines, including the poisoned pie plot in the series finale, will remain unresolved.
