MUMBAI: One of the most loved shows of all time, The Family Man Season is back with another season, the 2nd season is set to premiere on February 12, 2021. The first season of the spy thriller began streaming on Amazon Prime Video from September 20, 2019. Created by Raj and DK, The Family Man 2 is one of the most anticipated web series of the year. The new season is made on a bigger scale than The Family Man 1, and promises to be more intriguing and have deadlier villains.
The Family Man fans' wait will be over in a little more than a month. 36 days to be precise. Yes, that's how long you have to wait to meet Srikant Tiwari (Manoj Bajpayee). The Family Man Season 1 released almost one and half years ago and ended on a cliff-hanger. Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for the sequel to the espionage thriller. The series got rave reviews from critics and the audience on its release, and the sequel is expected to be equally engaging as the first season.
Srikant Tiwari (Bajpayee) will return with the sequel of The Family Man. In the new season, Srikant will be pitted against a new antagonist, Raji, played by Samantha Akkineni, while struggling to strike a balance between his personal and professional life. Amazon Prime Video shared a new motion poster of the web series, unveiling the release date, with a tagline that says, ‘This Time, No One is Safe’. Moosa (Neeraj Madhav) was Srikant's nemesis in Season 1. Since he is dead, Raji will be replacing him in The Family Man Season 2.
The Family Man focusses on Srikant Tiwari, a middle-class man who secretly works as a senior analyst at the National Intelligence Agency. He and his team are responsible for preventing terrorist attacks from happening. In Season 1, Srikant is seen struggling with his family and professional life as his marriage is crumbling and he also fails to decode a major terrorist attack.
After the success of The Family Man Season 1, the Amazon Prime web series was renewed for two more seasons.
The Family Man Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger. Srikant realises that Mission Zulfiqar is far from over. Moosa (Neeraj Madhav) is about to succeed in his evil plan, as he sets up the chemical plant to spew toxic gases which will kill everyone in Delhi within 2 hours. Zoya (Shreya Dhanwanthary) and Milind (Sunny Hinduja) enter the chemical plant but fail to stop the leakage. The series ends while it is shown that the toxic gases have started leaking while Zoya cries out in desperation.
Talking about The Family Man 2, Shreya Dhanwanthary revealed that the new season will begin from the where the first one ended. She told IndiaToday.in in an interview, "Well, Family Man Season 1, the last episode ends on my face, I am trapped in a chemical factory where a blast is about to take place. So you will know what happens in Season 2 in pretty much the first five minutes of the first episode."

In The Family Man Season 2, viewers will get to know what transpired between Srikant's wife Suchitra (Priyamani) and Arvind (Sharad Kelkar) in the hotel that night. This will certainly cause an upheaval in Srikant's personal life. On the other hand, Srikant's professional life will also take a hit. Karim's (Abrar Qazi) girlfriend has got hold of the video which is a piece of important evidence in proving Karim innocent. Karim was falsely accused of being a terrorist and was killed by T.A.S.C. Srikant will be accused of killing an innocent person once the video is released on social media.
The Family Man 2 stars Manoj Bajpayee and Priyamani in the lead roles. The star cast includes Sharib Hashmi, Seema Biswas, Darshan Kumar, Sharad Kelkar, Sunny Hinduja, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Shahab Ali, Vedant Sinha and Mahek Thakur. Samantha Akkineni makes her digital debut with the show. The show’s shoot was wrapped up in March 2020. The show also features an ensemble cast from Tamil cinema including Mime Gopi, Ravindra Vijay, Devadarshini Chetan, Anandsami and N Alagamperumal.
The official synopsis of the web series read, "The Family Man is an edgy, action-drama series, which tells the story of a middle-class man, Srikant Tiwari, who works for a special cell of the National Investigation Agency. The series explores Srikant's tight-rope walk as he struggles to strike a balance between his secretive, low paying, high-pressure, high-stakes job and being a husband and a father. This is as much a satirical take on the geopolitics of the region as it is the story of a middle-class guy who is a world-class spy."
