What is ‘Deli Boys’ bringing to the big screen in March? Well, after their deli-tycoon father suddenly dies, Raj and Mir Dar, a pair of spoiled Pakistani American brothers, lose everything and find out that their Baba was more drug lord than corporate magnate. The freaked-out boys are ushered kicking and screaming (literally) into the underworld by their Lucky Auntie and her nemesis Ahmad Uncle. As Raj and Mir fumble from one ridiculous catastrophe to the next, every move they make is life or death. Because when your trust fund is gone, so is the luxury of screwing up.

Jake Gyllenhaal (Rusty Sabich) starred as the Chicago chief deputy prosecutor, accused of the spine-chilling murder of his colleague and mistress, Renate Reinsve (Carolyn Polhemus). In due time we shall learn whether or not Jake Gyllenhaal will return as the series lead. However it has been confirmed he will continue forward as executive producer, alongside J.J. Abrams, Rachel Rusch Rich, Dustin Thomason, Matthew Tinker, David E. Kelley and Scott Turow. On the other hand, one thing’s for sure — two for certain, Peter Sarsgaard’s (Tommy Molto) return is questionable. Sarsgaard shared with Indiewire: “I’m not really that interested in sequels. I think I’ve only ever done one season of anything… I think I’m a one-season person.”
