Manoj Bajpayee, the celebrated actor who brings the character of Srikant Tiwari to life, has been back on set since May, stepping into the shoes of India’s ‘desi James Bond’ once more. Fans of the much-acclaimed series, The Family Man, have been eagerly awaiting its third season. However, reliable sources now suggest that this forthcoming season might not be the last but the penultimate chapter of this riveting spy thriller. It is rumoured that the series’ creators, Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, are contemplating concluding the saga with a fourth season.
“The third season’s shoot is currently underway, and the entire team is thrilled with the direction it’s taking,” revealed a close source from the production. “At the same time, there is an ongoing discussion about ending the series with the fourth installment. Raj-DK are considering this option, although no final decision has been made yet.”
Since its debut in 2019, The Family Man—featuring notable actors such as Priyamani and Sharib Hashmi alongside Bajpayee—has received widespread critical acclaim. Raj-DK successfully merged elements of comedy with the intense thrills of espionage, featuring a narrative that showcased an unassuming intelligence agent. The success of its first season laid a solid foundation, and the second season of the Prime Video series only elevated expectations further, creating tremendous anticipation for its third part.
The insider continued, “The idea of wrapping up the series is in its infancy stage. The ultimate decision will be made only after extensive discussions with all stakeholders and once the third season’s shooting is finalized.”
While the third season’s filming continues, another source disclosed that preliminary work on the fourth season has already started. “Raj-DK have initiated the scripting process for the fourth part while simultaneously managing the shoot for the third season. The next phase of filming for the third installment is scheduled to commence in the upcoming weeks. The creators intend to utilize the intervals between shooting schedules to progress on the fourth season’s script.”
Throughout the years, The Family Man has skillfully woven together elements of humor, family dynamics, and high-stakes government missions.
. Bajpayee’s portrayal of Srikant Tiwari, balancing everyday struggles with covert operations, has struck a chord with audiences, making him one of the most relatable yet intriguing characters on Indian television.
“The narrative for Season 3 promises a significant leap in the storyline with unexpected twists that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The creators are determined to maintain the quality and intrigue that have made this series a standout,” the source added.
It’s worth delving into how Raj-DK have managed to keep the narrative fresh and gripping through different seasons. Season 1 introduced viewers to Srikant Tiwari’s dual life—surreptitiously saving the nation while tackling domestic problems. Season 2 raised the stakes with a more globally expansive plot, new adversaries, and deeper explorations of the personal tolls felt by those in espionage. With such a strong record, expectations for the third season are soaring higher than ever.
The decision to conclude with a fourth season, though still under deliberation, aligns well with the narrative arcs being developed. “The third season is not just a continuation but a bridge to an eventual conclusion that we want to give justice to our characters and story arcs,” explained an insider aware of the show’s planning process.
Moreover, the demand for innovative content in the streaming world is always high, and The Family Man’s team aims to ensure they conclude on a note that satisfies both creative ambitions and fan expectations. Raj-DK are known for their meticulous approach. Having spent years scripting, directing, and producing some of the most memorable modern Indian content, their focus is now on how to balance audience satisfaction with the show’s creative legacy.
“Nothing is set in stone yet,” said the source cautiously. “The fourth season’s script is in the early stages, and any final decision will take into account a variety of factors, including audience reception of the third season, ongoing story development, and input from the cast and crew.”
For now, fans can rest assured that The Family Man’s journey is far from over. With the third season set to premiere soon and a fourth season in the pipeline, there is plenty more of Srikant Tiwari’s adventures to look forward to. As the series continues to evolve, it promises to keep its enthralling mix of action, drama, and comedy right until the very end.
