'Deli Boys' season two brings chaos, comedy and a wild crossover idea

If you thought season one of "Deli Boys" on Hulu was over the top, wait until you see what season two has to offer for the Dar brothers.

"I would say it's more of everything," star Asif Ali told On The Red Carpet. "It's funnier, it's crazier."

"Each character is on their own journey. And they start together, and then they separate throughout the season, and then they end together," said Saagar Shaikh.

"But we're still dumb and that's very important for you to know," joked Ali.

The series stars Ali and Shaikh as Mir and Raj Dar, brothers who inherited their dad's deli and his criminal operation and Poorna Jagannathan as their Aunt Lucky who helps them run the organization and (mostly) stay out of trouble. In season two they find themselves swimming in dirty money without a way to clean things up!

Enter Max Sugar, played by Fred Armisen.

"This crime family needs a place to sort of... launder their money. And I happen to have, this character Max Sugar, has a casino in town. It's the perfect place for... crime worlds to come together."

Max Sugar meets with the Dar brothers and Aunt Lucky and sparks immediately fly between Lucky and Max.

"You know when you are toxic and you meet someone more toxic? It's just like, 'give me one of those, please. I'll have one to go, please,'" said Jagannathan. "It's the first time you see Lucky laying down her guard, trusting a little more. And I think what she really admires about Fred's character is that he never gets his hands dirty. He just, you know, delegates, never gets into it, into the violence or the fray. He delegates everything. Lucky has just been in the trenches and doing stuff her entire career. And to see this man with that kind of power is very appealing."

Andrew Rannells plays Andrew Chadwater, a DA who's going after the Dar brothers in the hopes that it helps him get elected mayor.

"I was such a big fan of the first season. So, I was so excited to get a call, you know, to ask you to join the second season," Rannells said. "They all went out of their way to make me feel incredibly welcomed."

Tan France returns to "Deli Boys" with some memorable scenes as Zubair.

"For anyone who saw season one, I played a very violent gangster, which was a dream. This season you will see Zubair in a very different light. He has found his version of God, he's a lot more Zen. And so he's weirdly the peacemaker, which is so not who he was at the start of this journey," France explained.

Kumail Nanjiani, Lilly Singh and Robin Thede round out the guest stars.

"In season one it was us and so now in season two to be able to like, hang back sometimes and watch these incredible guests kind of like be in our world and run free was really, really exciting," said Ali.

"Deli Boys" takes place in Philadelphia and Ali and Shaikh are hoping they can make a crossover happen with some other Philly-centric shows under the Walt Disney Company umbrella, like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Abbott Elementary."

"We've met them. I, you know, we've run into Quinta (Brunson, "Abbott Elementary" creator and star) a lot. I've worked with Kaitlin Olsen ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") before. I've run into Glenn (Howerton, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") a lot, they're so awesome. They're so cool. We would love nothing more than to, than to close the loop of the Philly shows," said Ali. "I think that we would fit in both shows, in different ways, but I think, obviously I think it would be easier fit for 'Sunny' just because of the subject matter of our show."

"I think Raj would make a great substitute teacher," said Shaikh, who in real life is a professor of practice at University of Texas at San Antonio. "You know, he'd teach the kids the wrong thing and gets fired on the first day!"

"And I feel like my character for 'Sunny' would be like, 'oh we can we can go outside the mob and deal coke through this bar.' This bar is very messily run so no one will suspect them of being involved with us," added Ali.

Jagannathan added they could launder their money at Abbott Elementary before joking, "We really need, you know, cocaine in schools."

Ok, we don't think that storyline would fly, but a "Deli Boys," "Abbott Elementary," "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" crossover could bring some serious laughs.

Until then, watch "Deli Boys" when season two premieres May 28 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
