The Deli People(2021)

The Deli People is an eight-episode comedy series set in rural Vermont that follows a doomsday cult called "The Gardeners of His Immaculate and Gaping Chest hole." Created by Cole Merrell and Jacob Morton, the show mines dark humor from the absurd beliefs and daily operations of this fringe religious group. As the cult members navigate their apocalyptic worldview and increasingly bizarre rituals, tensions simmer beneath the surface of their isolated community. The series balances satire with character-driven storytelling, exploring how ordinary people become entangled in extraordinary ideologies. With its deadpan tone and offbeat sensibility, The Deli People offers a comedic yet unsettling look at cult mentality and the search for belonging in all the wrong places.
