Manoj Bajpayee has confirmed that the highly anticipated third season of The Family Man will begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video either in the last week of October or the first week of November.
“The shooting is complete,” Bajpayee confirmed, bringing relief to fans who have been eagerly waiting since the cliffhanger at the end of Season 2. Reflecting on the journey, he added, “When we began, we had no idea The Family Man would reach this level.” He admitted, “Is it the most popular work I’ve done? Without a doubt, yes.”
That’s significant coming from an actor who has delivered acclaimed performances across OTT platforms, including in Abhishek Chaubey’s Killer Soup. Yet, as Bajpayee notes, The Family Man has achieved a reach few series manage to capture, with audiences across the country and beyond invested in Srikant Tiwari’s juggling act between middle-class family life and high-stakes intelligence missions.
Bajpayee is confident that Season 3 will live up to the expectations built by its predecessors. “All I can say at this moment is that those who loved Seasons 1 and 2 won’t be disappointed,” he said. While Samantha Ruth Prabhu was the standout of Season 2, Bajpayee hints that the upcoming season will spotlight Jaideep Ahlawat. “What a fine actor! I love working with people who are as dedicated to getting it right as I am,” he added.
Created by Raj & DK, The Family Man has become a cultural phenomenon, blending political intrigue, family humour, and spy-thriller intensity in a distinctly Indian setting while resonating with a global audience. With Bajpayee leading the cast, Season 3 is expected to explore new geopolitical tensions while retaining the domestic warmth and wit that have defined the series.
As the countdown begins, fans can finally mark their calendars for Srikant Tiwari’s return. If previous seasons are any indication, The Family Man 3 is set to deliver another gripping, emotional, and binge-worthy ride.
