Queer Eye’s Tan France to Star in Hulu’s Comedy ‘Deli Boys’ – And Yes, He’s Dressed to Kill (Literally)

Buy Me A Coffee

Tan France is trading makeovers for mayhem in his first-ever acting role! The 41-year-old style guru and Queer Eye star is stepping into the world of acting with Hulu’s upcoming comedy series Deli Boys. Yes, you heard it right—Tan is leaving the Fab Five behind (temporarily, don’t panic) to become a gang leader.

Tan spilled the chai himself on Instagram, writing, “It’s @hulu official…. I joined @deliboyshulu for my first acting role ever. I cannot wait for you to see this INCREDIBLE show!” We imagine this announcement was delivered in the chicest font with flawless lighting.

Tan as a What Now?
Tan will be playing Zubair, a British Pakistani gang leader from South London who is described as “smart, intimidating, and dressed to kill.” And honestly, who else but Tan could make criminal intimidation look like a runway moment? We’re fully expecting Zubair to threaten people with sharp tailoring and lethal accessories.

What’s Deli Boys About?
Here’s the scoop: Deli Boys is a half-hour Hulu comedy premiering on March 6. The story follows two spoiled Pakistani American brothers who, after their convenience-store-tycoon dad suddenly bites the naan, lose everything. But wait—turns out their beloved Baba had a secret life of crime! The brothers are now stuck trying to fill their dad’s mobster-sized shoes. It’s like Succession meets The Sopranos but with samosas and even more family drama.

The Big Reveal
The news dropped on January 26 during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where the show’s stars—Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, and Poorna Jaganathan—gathered to celebrate. Meanwhile, Tan was spotted the night before at the Sunrise Collective Multicultural Unity Dinner. Translation? A fancy dinner where people network in the mountains and pretend they’re not freezing.

Will Tan’s Zubair become the most stylish gang leader in TV history? Will he accessorize his intimidation with a pop of color and a double-breasted suit? The answers arrive March 6. Until then, Tan, we trust you to slay (figuratively and maybe literally).
