Hulu is inviting Emmys on a trip to the Deli.

The streamer is submitting the second season of its Pakistani American comedy, “Deli Boys,” across 22 categories, with 28 total planned submissions, Variety has learned exclusively.

At the center of the push is a play for outstanding comedy series, with the sophomore run set to drop as a binge on Hulu on May 28, 2026, three days before the end of the eligibility window. The show landed on numerous best-of lists in its freshman year with a strong 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.
