Hold on to your screens, thriller fans, The Family Man is back, and the excitement is unreal. Manoj Bajpayee just unveiled the much-awaited first look poster for The Family Man Season 3, and it’s nothing short of a firestorm. With a backdrop of masked gunmen and chaos hinting at high-stakes action, Bajpayee’s character Srikant Tiwari stands tall, eyes sharp, jaw clenched, and mission-ready. The poster doesn’t just tease a return, it announces an evolution.
This time, the narrative promises to be darker and more complex. With the backdrop of post-COVID geopolitical tensions, the storyline is set to explore regional threats and national security in ways we’ve never seen before in Indian OTT thrillers. While the plot remains under wraps, we do know one thing, Srikant is done balancing spreadsheets and is fully back in action mode. Bajpayee’s character is expected to dive deeper into the murky world of espionage while continuing to struggle with his personal responsibilities, a duality that has become the soul of the series.
Adding to the adrenaline is the entry of powerhouse actor Jaideep Ahlawat, who is confirmed to play the antagonist this season. After his riveting performance in Paatal Lok, fans are expecting sparks to fly between him and Bajpayee. Manoj himself hinted at an intense face-off between their characters, calling this season “massive” and “full of surprises.” That alone is enough to keep die-hard fans on the edge of their seats.
The creators have already locked in a release window, The Family Man Season 3 is scheduled to drop in November 2025. While the exact date is yet to be disclosed, Bajpayee made the announcement during the OTTplay Awards, hinting that Diwali might come with more than just fireworks this year. With audiences already speculating fan theories and binge plans, the countdown has unofficially begun.
Returning cast members include Priyamani, Sharib Hashmi, and others who have become fan favourites, and while Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s character Raji met a dramatic end, her influence on the narrative remains strong. The direction once again lies in the capable hands of Raj & DK, who have made a habit of turning every season into a cultural moment.
With a mix of sharp writing, relatable characters, and high-octane espionage, The Family Man has already set a gold standard for Indian web series. Season 3 looks all set to raise that bar even further, and if this new poster is anything to go by, we’re not just getting another chapter… we’re getting an explosion.
