Stars of Hulu's 'Deli Boys' visit 6abc and discuss season 2, Philadelphia and their culture

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia's "Deli Boys" are back.

Season 2 of the hit show premieres Thursday on Hulu.

The stars of the show, Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh, visited Action News on Tuesday to talk about what they have in store this time around.

"Deli Boys" is about the Dar brothers who suddenly find themselves running their family's criminal drug empire after their dad dies.

In the new season, they are swimming in dirty cash and running out of ways to hide it, so enter Max Sugar, Philly's casino king and laundering pro, played by Fred Armisen.

"It's faster paced, it's funny and we've got so many guest stars," said Shaikh.

"Deli Boys" is filmed in Chicago but set in Philadelphia, and showrunner Michelle Nader is a South Philly native.

Both Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh are also being honored with the Storyteller Icon awards from the Philadelphia Asian American Film Foundation on Tuesday night.
