After much anticipation and endless fan questions, the wait is finally over. Manoj Bajpayee is back as Srikant Tiwari in ‘The Family Man’ season 3. The third season of the hit spy thriller is all ready to premiere on Prime Video on November 21, and the trailer is out.
For Manoj, stepping back into Srikant’s world feels nothing short of emotional. Calling it a “true homecoming,” the veteran actor shared how fans have been eagerly asking him about Srikant’s return for years.
“For the past four years, people have been stopping me everywhere, asking, ‘Kab aa raha hai Srikant Tiwari?’ Now I finally have an answer,” he said with a smile. “This new season is bigger, bolder, and takes Srikant into his toughest phase yet. He’s cornered from all sides, and there’s no easy way out.”
He also credited directors Raj & DK and Prime Video for shaping ‘The Family Man’ into one of India’s most loved streaming shows. “Raj and DK’s vision, storytelling, and the love from audiences have made this journey incredible. Coming back to Srikant’s world for the third time feels like returning home,” he added.
The freshly dropped trailer has already set social media buzzing. It opens with a shocking moment. Srikant Tiwari finally tells his family that he’s a spy. But before the confession can settle, things take a dark turn. Srikant is suddenly declared a ‘wanted criminal’ and a warrant is issued for his arrest.

What follows is chaos. Forced to go underground with his family, Srikant must rely on his loyal friend and colleague JK Talpade (played by Sharib Hashmi) to survive. But as he tries to find out who’s behind the conspiracy, he discovers a powerful enemy, Nimrat Kaur.
To make things worse, Nimrat’s character joins hands with a dangerous drug lord from the Northeast, played by Jaideep Ahlawat.
For Jaideep Ahlawat, joining ‘The Family Man’ universe was a dream come true. “I’ve always admired Raj and DK for their brilliant storytelling. ‘The Family Man’ has set new standards for Indian web series, and I’m thrilled to be part of this season,” the actor said. He also hinted that his role will surprise fans adding, “I can’t reveal much about my character, but people will see me in a very unexpected avatar.”
Ahlawat, who earlier worked with Prime Video in the acclaimed ‘Paatal Lok’, called the collaboration creatively fulfilling.
The third season also marks the return of the show’s beloved ensemble of Priyamani as Srikant’s wife Suchi, Sharib Hashmi as JK, Ashlesha Thakur and Vedant Sinha as his children, along with Shreya Dhanwanthary and Gul Panag.
This season, will Srikant manage to clear his name and protect his family once again? Or will his past finally catch up with him? The answers await when ‘The Family Man 3’ begins streaming on November 21
