  "account": "Hulu has canceled the comedy-drama series Deli Boys after it aired only two seasons, according to Deadline. The show, originally created by Abdullah Saeed, had been a priority for Onyx Collective, pushing for more cast members to join in its second season. Fred Armisen, a veteran of Saturday Night Live, joined as a series regular midway through the first season. The addition of notable cast members such as Andrew Rannells, Kumail Nanjiani, Lilly Singh, Robin Thede, and Tan France did not save Deli Boys from cancellation despite their inclusion. The series followed the story of two pampered Pakistani American brothers who are thrust into a criminal underworld after their father, a convenience store magnate, dies suddenly. With a total of 16 episodes produced over the two seasons, Deli Boys failed to secure a third season following its low ratings.",
