Hulu has long been a powerhouse for comedies and dramedies, from Only Murders in the Building to The Bear and The Great. But one of its most underrated gems is Deli Boys, a crime comedy that just wrapped its second season to critical acclaim and chart-topping success. In June 2026, the show has become one of the most-streamed titles on both Hulu and Disney+, according to FlixPatrol.
A Crime Comedy With a Perfect Score
Season 2 of Deli Boys has earned a flawless 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, building on the first season's already impressive 98% critics' score. The six-episode season delivers a tight, two-hour comedic experience that leaves audiences wanting more. Critics have praised the show for its sharp writing, strong performances, and distinctive voice.
Collider's Tania Hussain called it "one of the funniest and most distinctive shows to come out of streaming," while ScreenRant's Angel Shaw noted that despite the shorter episode count, the writing remains "great." Nandini Balial of RogerEbert described the season as "rich, joyous, and one of the funniest shows of the year."
What Is 'Deli Boys' About?
The series follows brothers Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Sagar Shaikh), who inherit their family business after their father's death—only to discover that the seemingly successful deli was actually a front for a drug operation. Under the guidance of their aunt Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan), the brothers become entangled in the criminal underworld. In Season 2, they face a new dilemma: they've become too good at their job and need a money launderer, all while law enforcement closes in and competitors fight for market share.
Created by Abdulla Saeed, the show has been described as The Sopranos with a comedic twist—funny, sharp, and impeccably acted. If you're a fan of crime thrillers like Taylor Sheridan's 'Tulsa King', this Hulu original offers a lighter but equally gripping take on organized crime.
Streaming Success and What's Next
With its perfect critical score and rising popularity, Deli Boys has become a standout hit for Hulu. The show's success on Disney+ further proves its broad appeal. As Hulu continues to build its library of original comedies, Deli Boys is proving to be a major asset. For those who enjoy dark humor and crime capers, this series is a must-watch.
All episodes of Deli Boys Season 2 are now streaming on Hulu and Disney+. Stay tuned for more updates on this breakout hit.
