But the network has also been releasing new scripted shows in 2025, the first of which was the crime drama Paradise. The series has been both a critical and commercial success for Hulu, with Paradise season 2 getting confirmed before season 1 had even finished airing. The show's 82% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes promised a strong start for the platform's new, original series in 2025. Now, a comedy show's critical reception is continuing this strong trend for the service's scripted originals.

Deli Boys is also another critical success for Hulu according to Rotten Tomatoes, where it touts an 83% score from critics based on six reviews as of writing. While this number may fluctuate as more reviews come in, the show is already 1% ahead of Paradise, the streamer's only other scripted show released this year so far. It's a good sign for the streamer's 2025 original programming lineup that both of its new shows have scored highly positive ratings, even while being in very different genres.
What Deli Boys' Rotten Tomatoes Success Means For Hulu In 2025
Can Other Shows Replicate The Pattern?
Deli Boys getting such a high Rotten Tomatoes score places it right next to Paradise, signaling a very strong future for Hulu's new original series in 2025. This includes the true crime drama Good American Family, the comedy drama Dying for Sex, and sitcom Mid-Century Modern, all coming to the platform over the course of the next few months. While it's unclear if they'll all live up to these first two shows, the new comedy might begin a streak of good fortune for the platform's new series.
