Deli Boys is set to return for its second season on Hulu on May 28, featuring an array of new recurring and guest stars.

Armisen joined the primary cast when Deli Boys was renewed last August and will portray Max Sugar, a gambling savant with a remarkable talent for reading people. His global casino empire centers in Philadelphia, making him both brilliant and dangerously unstable.

Jagannathan plays Naveeda “Lucky,” Baba’s confidante and a crime boss auntie.
