The Family Man Season 3 premieres on Prime Video on November 21. Manoj Bajpayee's Srikant Tiwari faces off against Jaideep Ahlawat's Rukma. Directors Raj and DK promise an intense showdown and a new North-East setting, with high stakes and a fresh narrative.
India's most-loved spy thriller series, The Family Man, is all set to return with its third season. After years of anticipation, Manoj Bajpayee returns as the fan-favourite Srikant Tiwari and this time, he's not just fighting enemies, he's fighting for survival. Directors Raj and DK recently opened up about the show's plot this year and how Jaideep Ahlawat ties into the narrative.
Season 3 brings a monumental clash of talent, featuring a high-octane face-off that is already sending fan anticipation soaring. Sharing his enthusiasm for the clash between Manoj Bajpayee's Srikant and Jaideep Ahlawat's Rukma in the new season, and confirming the central conflict, Raj expressed, "Manoj and Jaideep are coming together, two stalwarts of Indian cinema. Really top actors."
Jaideep Ahlawat's antagonist, Rukma, is designed as a dark reflection of our beloved TASC agent. His character presents a threat that is deeply personal and ideologically opposite to Srikant, pushing him to his absolute limit. Raj added, "Rukma became the main character, the main antagonist, where he is almost the opposite of Srikant; he also has a girlfriend and a kid, a sort of a 'non-family' family."
This time, Srikant's mission moves eastward, into unfamiliar terrain and dangerous new territory. Speaking about the meticulous planning and the long-anticipated arc, Krishna DK shared, "It's been building up for a while, and we've put our hearts into it. We had already announced at the end of season two that the North-East is where we want to go with the next season."
He said, "The location, the people, and the culture are all part of the DNA of the show, whichever season you pick. Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, and all these places in season three, you need that energy from the place." The shifting geographical focus ensures that the series maintains its signature blend of national-level threats rooted in authentic Indian locales, guaranteeing a fresh and visceral viewing experience.
The combination of a high-stakes mission in the North-East, the return of fan-favourite actors like Sharib Hashmi (JK), Priyamani (Suchitra), and the new formidable challenges posed by Rukma means the new season is poised to be an unmissable spectacle. The Family Man Season 3 streams globally on Prime Video from November 21.
