SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for “Deli Boys” Season 2, which premiered May 28 on Hulu with all six episodes.
“Deli Boys” Season 2 is all about Lucky in love.
At the start of the new season of the critically-acclaimed comedy, Lucky — played by the incredibly talented and impeccably dressed Poorna Jagannathan — and her witless charges Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Saagar Shaikh) are successfully running the DarCo cocaine business. But with their success comes a common problem among drug lords: where to clean all their illicit cash.
Enter Max Sugar (Fred Armisen), a prominent casino magnate and expert money launderer. Sugar is taken with Lucky from the start, but she does not immediately return his affections. Then, after Max helps out during an attempted robbery at the deli, Lucky agrees to go out with him.
“Lucky loves toxic, and she knows toxic when she sees toxic,” Jagannathan said in an interview with Variety. “She’s met her match in Max Sugar.”
