The moment millions of fans have been waiting for is almost here! Srikant Tiwari is officially back in action. Prime Video’s globally celebrated series, The Family Man, returns with its third season, bringing a new chapter that boasts higher stakes, deeper emotions, and the ultimate test for everyone’s favourite spy. This return marks another milestone for its creators, Raj & DK, the phenomenal duo behind hits like Farzi and Citadel Honey Bunny. The new season promises to be the biggest and most challenging yet, not just professionally for Srikant but also in terms of the show’s setting.
DK on making North-East the setting
This time, Srikant’s (Manoj Bajpayee) 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. So we were clear about that.
“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,” said DK.
The shifting geographical focus ensures the series maintains its signature blend of national-level threats rooted in authentic Indian locales, guaranteeing a fresh, visceral viewing experience.
Raj on the Srikant-Rukma clash
The core of the excitement lies in the intense rivalry that the creators have cooked up for Srikant this time around.
Season 3 brings a monumental clash of talent, with a high-octane face-off 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.”
Rukma is designed as a dark reflection of Srikant. His character poses a deeply personal threat, pushing Srikant to his absolute limit. Raj further elaborated on this compelling character parallel, noting, “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 `non-family` family.”
With Raj & DK’s unmatched talent for blending high-octane action with the comedic, relatable chaos of a middle-class life, The Family Man 3 is a cultural event.
Don’t miss Srikant Tiwari’s toughest balancing act between nation and family when The Family Man Season 3 streams globally on Prime Video from November 21.
