The Family Man Season 3 story
This time, Srikant Tiwari’s mission takes him to the Northeast — but an unexpected turn of events pushes him into a corner where he himself becomes a wanted man. As he battles for his country, the uncertainty looming over his family back home becomes just as gripping. The narrative eventually spills beyond India’s borders, keeping the stakes high over seven tightly packed episodes of about 45 minutes each, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

The series moves with purpose, flourish and absolute confidence, making it the kind of show you end up binge-watching in one go. For many, this could easily be the best season yet.
Performances
Manoj Bajpayee is exceptional, delivering a performance filled with nuance — shifting effortlessly between the vulnerable family man and the steely intelligence officer. Jaideep Ahlawat is magnetic; some of his scenes are powerful enough to make you replay them.
Sharib Hashmi, once again, proves how effortlessly he stands tall even among the best. Nimrat Kaur shines in a brilliantly written moment opposite Ahlawat, reminding us why she’s such a compelling actor. Priyamani delivers solid support, while Ashlesha Thakur and Vedant Sinha are terrific as the Tiwari kids. Gul Panag is impressive, Seema Biswas fits perfectly as the Prime Minister, Vipin Sharma is superb, and Darshan Kumaar leaves a strong mark.
Writing & direction
Raj, DK and Suman Kumar have crafted the season with remarkable precision. Co-directing with Tushar Seth, they create a world that feels lived-in, emotionally layered and constantly edge-of-seat engaging. Every character, every scene carries weight.
Verdict
All in all, this is a season you absolutely should not miss. It's thrilling, emotional, sharply written and brilliantly performed — the kind of storytelling that keeps the audience hooked till the very end.
